This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Blahaj has a no tolerance policy on trans rights, from what I understand, and I think they like how they run their stuff. Maybe you know that already, but if not, maybe that's helpful? It's not so much thin skin as "we're here for the purpose of not seeing that kinda stuff, so we block it here".
DB0 is legitimately one of the coolest places on the modern internet, I'm curious to hear what kinds of things you've seen bans for. The admin/host (by the same name) seems to have very rational, reasonable takes toward moderation, and he values transparency and community feedback. Frankly from my own (instance-level, not community or thread) observations, he seems like a model of high-quality moderation. Your experience sounds off to me, but I hope that doesn't come across as an accusation, I don't intend one.
Blahaj, I kind of understand. Although I'd prefer if you were to have an LGBTQ+ safe place instance, that the communities primarily on there are LGBTQ+ communities. I don't think I was banned on DB0 by the instance, but multiple communities which seemed to have the same mod.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous that you cannot be conservative on !conservative@lemmy.world , they're basically just name squatting. They banned me from there because I was calling out a post attacking religion. I wasn't even being that conservative.
You can be conservative, you just cannot be an ass. Unfortunately, it is rather difficult for conservatives to not be proper conservatives and instead they often turn to fascism like Trump and Musk proclaim.
Being a conservative is about prioritising the status quo. It is not about returning to the middle ages with a police state of witchhunting and mass murder, which is what fascists and reactionaries want.
I really don't understand that comm either, but I haven't looked too closely cuz I'm not that interested. I also moved off .world entirely for my accounts because I don't like some of their moderation stances. I understand why they have them and don't begrudge them for it, to be clear. But I do eye them warily as a kind of emerging de facto instance in some ways (AKA potential for more centralization than seems wise, given their need or desire to comply with certain local laws that limit speech).
