If you arent homophobic, transphobic, anti-communist, in support of china or russia, in support of israel, religious, in support of non-opensource software, against linux, calling a lot of people nazis, or against murdering, then probably
I agree with most of these, but sometimes it feels like you cant disagree with people without them becoming angry
As long as you are not a bootlicker, you will do fine.
I think we're pretty nice. Though I can get a little hot sometimes I think we all try to keep in mind we are talking to real humans (most of the time lol).
Yes.
On lemmy.world you will get dogpiled if you ever diverge from the DNC/MSNBC line on anything. On lemmy.ml, you will get dogpiled if you ever diverge from the CCP party line, but the assholes flaming you are less likely to literally be the mods.
[edit: blahaj is also full of and moded by dicks]
Will the mods flame you then ban you?
If the worst happens there are many instances to choose from, and it seems easy to get your preferred username
We have mods of all kinds here! Most won't just ban you unless you broke an actual rule. Any who, good of a time as any to mention the Modlog exists. You can easily see someone's moderation history with just two clicks!
(three dots next to a comment and then moderation history.)
You are WAY better than .world
The .ml mod history is full of people getting banned for whatever, and shoehorned into rule 1. I know, because every time my posts don't get votes for a while I go and check it, just in case.
I have nothing against your instance's moderators or users, but I'm not quite sure the admins of your instance follow the same guidelines.
I would really recommend newcomers pick a home instance like db0 over .ml or .world, and be aware of the instance rules when posting on communities in either. For .ml, avoid criticizing the CCP, and for .world, avoid expressing any desires that can be even remotely seen as "violence".
Flyingsquid for one
yeah ideological policing is insane
