One thing is to ban an instance, another one is to be banned individually and no, it’s not a rite of passage. I’ve been here since the first mass migration and didn’t got a single ban, such as most people who are not out there searching for conflict

Meh. I got sitebanned on lemmygrad on like day five.
OP is right in the sense that it isn’t hard to catch a ban on lemmy, also that there’s plenty of places that will ban you for completely contrary things (like, most places for denying genocide, lemmygrad for not denying genocide).
It does matter what you get banned for. And defending kiwifarms is a no-go for any civilised community.

The context behind the last part is that certain marginalized friends wanted someone on the inside to act as a buffer in case they come up in conversations, and it led to a whole debate about whether the intentions of the founders of a community, the intentions of the majority of a community, and the intentions of each individual in a community can be separated. I am an individual and don’t endorse the values the group is associated with. I previously used the analogy of an alternate timeline where nobody likes Uncle Iroh because he joined the fire nation military even though he never actually did any of the fighting. It’s an oversimplification to say I’m “defending kiwifarms”.

I’m not searching for conflict. The people you allude to keep coming to me. I didn’t really even know your name before you came to me, for example. Besides, I’m not the only one who has offered to fill the shoes. If everyone got lucky with that except me, I would still support them.
