I'm sorry if this breaks a rule for this sub or isn't in the right place.

I really don't know, most of the time I just lurk. I had an alt on Hexbear because they get defederated all the time, and I really enjoy their content, but it got banned because I called out Nazi propaganda about Ukraine(It's why I was banned. I'm not trying to talk politics I would like to focus on Lemmy), and I'm just very confused. The rules they referenced for the ban seem to barely apply to what I said, and in general, the server seemed like a cool place to be. I definitely felt like I was in a community where I belonged.

I'm just boggled and could really use some hand-holding on this one. In general, the rules of the Lemmyverse confuse me. I want to see everything, but the places I like most are usually defederated from the larger communities.

If this isn't right please please, just point me to where I can ask.Thanks!

I use it as an informal way to see if leftist views are gaining or losing in influence

Using lemmy to gauge public sentiment is begging for false positives and incorrect perceptions; normal people do not use this site, lemmy is a highly maladjusted sink for reddit cranks and idiosyncratic Nazis, a bargain bin 4chan without even the numbers necessary to survey the incel population of the internet

To properly gauge leftist influence sites like TikTok are the only reliable userbase that can represent an accurate cross-section of the general population

I meant purely on Lemmy, to be clear. Not abroad.

But what's the value in doing that? That's like counting cracks on a prison wall

We use it actively, and Cowbee also is active in agitprop and educating people within other Lemmy instances, I think these two are reason enough at least for them

Pure passive curiosity, I don't actively seek it out.
