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.
Most usually would usually note that with a generic "ban evasion," which is often times incorrect as well, but that wasn't used in this case. And would have taken the same amount of time to type as "Universal Monk."
I'm working on transferring all my fiction writing to piefed, and since piefed.social doesn't like me, I've started putting my writing on Feddit.online now. The admin there, @Jerry@feddit.online is awesome! I talked to him about me being there to make sure it was ok. He's been super cool about everything. Great piefed instance and great admin. So at the end of the day, I'm fine with his piefed being the only piefed instance I'm on.
I just wish there were a way to transfer all my writing to my community on there without having to repost them, and bore Lemmy with seeing my stuff be posted all over again. :/
You've always been welcome on your quokk.au account.
It's an awesome instance, from what I've seen of it so far!
Thanks, and to answer your other question no, I do.
