I love the memes that pour out of [hostile community 1] and [hostile community 2], but inevitably when I participate in the comments under their posts, I’m bombarded with accusations of “trolling,” “imperialist apologia,” “racism,” etc. because I disagree with some aspects of the the hyper-auth-left.
I just want a community that makes me laugh “hehe, that’s a good point about that problem with the US” that isn’t overrun with people doing mental gymnastics to paint anything I say as the worst thing anyone’s ever said in the history of the internet and recreationally banning me for it.
Does such a place exist on the Fediverse (yet)?

I’ve literally never heard of your instance before.
I don’t say that to shame you, but to establish that the bigger an instance, the more likely jackasses will find their way in due to the nature of the diversity of human thought.
In other words, any instance that 100% agrees with me will be an instance of a single person - me.
Lemmy.world seems good enough for me. I don’t agree with everyone here, but most of the moderators and admins seem to not be actively abusing their power or neglectfully ignoring abuses of their peers.

No, trust me, I didn’t make it up. It’s explicitly against the rules on a popular instance/community that I encountered recently.

I cope fine. Learn to keep your inane comments to yourself.

And you, coping so well with my comment that you were compelled to reply and mischaracterize what I’m doing/saying again.
My my, aren’t we pleasant.
If we’re keeping track of which instances harbor nasty people, so far yours is 1/1.

I mean, you kind of just instance shamed in your previous comment…

I’ll live just fine, I just appreciated the irony.
I’ve also seen plenty of instance shaming. It mostly boils down to anyone on a .ml instance is a tankie and anyone on LW is a shitlib.
