i can understand where they’re coming from

if your instance was called lemmy.freds.com, and your goal was to create an instance purely for people called fred to use; it would be understandable to remove people who claimed to be called fred, and then it turns out they actually aren’t

now i don’t know what instance this is, but say it’s lemmy.dbzer0.com - if a user is going around decrying piracy, or reporting copyright infringement on lemmy to authorities; i think it would be reasonable to remove them

What if they are cutting you off because you are of a particular race they don’t like?

  Then you’re better off not using their instance. Forcing instances to host everyone isn’t as open-minded as you think. If lemmy is to be policed and forced-I cousin is to be imolimented…. Then lemmy isn’t really free.
  
  Racism- any “ism” for that matter, sucks, but in a social media atmosphere, provided it’s not physically hurting someone or, targeted harassment towards anyone, should be allowed- or it’s not a free society.

  Aaaand, the mask comes off.
  "Reverse racism" isn't a thing, oppressed people are entitled to space away from their oppressors.
  You are not a victim, stop trying to be one because something isn't for you for a change.

  that’s ok, because it’s the “bad” race.

  I feel like you're being purposely vague. This is a lemmy instance right? Just link the thread.

  Being in the US doesn’t make you a white male.
  
  Seems like you’re just trying to drum up drama, tbh

  i mean, i don’t personally agree with it, but i can empathise that that demographic is overrepresented on the internet, so if their goal is to create an instance (like, say, hexbear before they federated) where they’re curating a specific experience, it’s understandable
  
  i’d be interested to know what instance it is though
