I posted some hours ago on politics.world and got immediately banned, i tried to ask on asklemmy.ml where I can post it but after 3h (this is a big instance) no up/down votes, no comments, nothing. If I navigate as a guest I don’t see my post among the new ones.

So my questions is, do you see my post (there’s only one)?

Yes, I like to talk about politics and I like to discuss hard topics, it is genuinely interesting to me and I want to learn more about the world.

The only post I see is this one. More likely a federation issue than a shadowban.

Why… what tf did I do to be covered with insults and be defederated. Wtf.

It seems you misunderstand the nature of the term “federation issue.”

LinguisticKerosene@lemmy.wtf on 13 Aug 2025 18:06 collapse

So like an error? Sorry I don’t know much about federation. I just want to use lemmy to discuss stuff and vent 😞

lena@gregtech.eu on 13 Aug 2025 18:26 collapse

An error during the communication of your instance with others

lena@gregtech.eu on 13 Aug 2025 17:58 next collapse

Probably a federation issue (defederation perhaps?)

Can’t see your post

Nope, voyager opens this in the browser, which means that it’s not federated to my instance

LinguisticKerosene@lemmy.wtf on 13 Aug 2025 18:03 collapse

So this post specifically has been defederated from ALL instances? How is it possible?

lena@gregtech.eu on 13 Aug 2025 18:07 next collapse

I don’t know, it’s probably your instance having issues. Maybe they defederated lemmy.ml and hid the blocklist somehow? When I look it up on defed.xyz it says lemmy.wtf wasnt found.

Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world on 13 Aug 2025 18:11 collapse

Try posting on a community that isn’t on .ml

I’m pretty sure that instance is blocked by many others.

LinguisticKerosene@lemmy.wtf on 13 Aug 2025 18:13 collapse

What do you recommend? I don’t want to be banned again, i like this community… ask.world?

Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world on 13 Aug 2025 18:26 collapse

Well, I’m reluctant to tell you to try posting it there, because it probably won’t be any more well received.

There wasn’t any evidence that Israel was involved in 9-11. Yeah, I know, that’s what they WANT us to think, but there was plenty of evidence that it was Al-Qaeda, and they happily took all the credit for the attacks.

I think you’re looking at a past event through a modern lens and making connections and motivations that just weren’t there at the time. Like claiming the moon landing was fake, but the technology to fake something like that didn’t exist yet.

LinguisticKerosene@lemmy.wtf on 13 Aug 2025 18:37 collapse

That is fine, I’m wrong ok? Very wrong! Can I be informed better? Can we discuss it? I just saw a meme and wanted to know the opinions of the people living in that country. For transparency, I also put forward my (absolutely wrong wrong) opinion.

It really makes me wanna delete this app, this should be a fun time what the hell

Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world on 13 Aug 2025 19:25 collapse

For the record, I do believe that you have good intentions and want to have an honest conversation and learn more about the topic. I’m just warning you that if you post it exactly like you did before, most people are going to treat it like a conspiracy fueling troll post.

It would go over about as well as “What if vaccinations DO cause autism?” There’s nothing to discuss, and no reason to ask questions that have already been answered.

However, if you’re prone to lashing out like this whenever someone disagrees with random theories that you’ve made up, maybe it is just best if you delete the app. Lemmy may not be whatever it is you are looking for.

Best wishes.

So if someone comes to you in person and gives you a wacky belief (there is no evidence whatsoever, all the other users commenting are idiots writing crazy shit ok), you rightfully punch him in the face, insult him and kick him out of your house.

It’s all just a big coincidence and I’m crazy person. Yep, it’s not my place here. I will circle back when everyone will say they always been against.

StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org on 13 Aug 2025 19:33 collapse

I can see this post from the SDF. I think you may just be having federation issues.

to be fair I was banned from memes (yes MEMES) for nothing. I made a commed that I didn’t agree with the religious take o the meme and was BANNED. that was crazy, but it’s just internet it’s not life. It won’t impact my life in nothing so fuck it. didn’t went after it

Kolanaki@pawb.social on 13 Aug 2025 21:58 next collapse

You were banned from Memes on Lemmy.ML because you mentioned North Korea being bad, and the tankie admins there love sucking dictator cock.

MissJinx@lemmy.world on 14 Aug 2025 12:45 collapse

Yeah, maybe it was that. I thought it was an obvious thing, I didn’t know there were people defending north korea.

Awesome. Being banned from \lemmy.ml is kinda like getting banned from, uh shit I don’t want to name specific reddit communities but you know the ones I’m talking about. The ones you don’t like. The ones where honestly, the ban is worth more than the participation. Kind of like being banned from Shitter altogether. Or \lemmy.ml. Badge. Of. Honor.
