So I started a piefed account, mostly for my writing so that dbzer0 (and Lemmy) wouldn’t have to put up with all my weird fiction stories all the time. Plus, I wanted to check out the biggest Piefed space, piefed.social, because I'm excited about some of the new concepts they are bringing to the table.
I created a writing community, a Socialist community, and a Green Party community there today.
Nothing outrageous or controversial. I posted one news article in each of the Socialist and Green Party communities, and a couple to my writing comm.
The Socialist and Writing communities were local only, so they wouldn’t even show up in the larger Fediverse. I only posted in my own communities. No controversy intended, none created.
I just got banned, almost immediately after starting the communities. The reason in the mod log says: "Universal Monk".
The admin, @rimu@piefed.social, hasn't replied to my DM asking why (yet). I guess being me is reason enough. I feel so famous! Or maybe infamous?
I'm still a libertarian socialist tho! Piefed.social and Lemmy ain't gonna change my mind.
Oh, I already know how the votes (down) here are gonna go! But doing my part in adding content to Lemmy anyway; being the change I wanna see. No regrets! :)
EDIT: I'm posting this here, and I've repeated it in this thread. Just in case piefed.social banned me on the assumption that I’m “conservative” because I’ve posted links to conservative news articles… then, by that same logic, shouldn’t I also be considered socialist and anarchist because I post so much socialist and anarchist content? I actually post way more socialist content than anything else. And there is nothing in my fiction writing that is conservative at all. My entire post history is public, it doesn't take much effort to see that I post practically anything I find interesting.
Lmao
Obv BPR 😤
I just wanna point out for everyone who actually may think that, it wasn't to provoke a reaction. It was literally so I can have all my fiction in one place (decided to move my writing the piefed instance, feddit.online, now).
I didn't post anywhere or anything controversial. I posted a green party news article about trees, a socialist article about energy, and then 2 or 3 of my short fiction stories.
Oh I don't really think that- sorry, I thought the emoji would make it clear. I still don't know how much (if any) of you is a character/schtick like Chad McTruth, but I have a soft spot for you regardless bc we got shat on relentlessly together in a few threads for voting third party
Oh, sorry! thank you for saying that. I'll update my comment. I didn't notice the emoji! And yep, I do remember you getting beat up for the same things I was getting beat up for. But we made it, we are still here. Good on ya, friend!
As for Chad McTruth, his level of sarcasm/parody or whatever, is way way too advanced for me. I legit can never figure out who's he's making fun of. He's fucking good at what he does. I am not nearly clever enough for his kind of thinking.
