Yes. But my question is, why no Tor? Back in my day, all the anti-establishment organizations really valued that stuff, as part of a general culture of online safety, and wanted to push people to use it, not away from it.
A ban evader is someone who creates alternate accounts to sneak back into communities or instances they’ve been banned from, just to continue posting.
I don’t do that.
I’ve kept the same username across different instances, and I avoid posting in communities where I’ve been banned. I do this for transparency—so everyone knows I’m not posting in places that I’m banned from.
And yes, I’m aware of that thread. In fact, I use a screenshot of it as my profile banner. Notice that the new instance admins didn’t ban me because they saw that I wasn’t ban evading.
For example: If you banned me from this community, I wouldn’t post here again, no matter what instance I’m using. I’m not a ban evader.
Moving to a different instance after being banned, and avoiding the banned instance, is NOT ban evading.
Lemmy values diversity of thought, and the whole point of the Fediverse is that there’s no central authority that can just get rid of everyone they don’t like.
Different admins and different instances have different preferences and crowds. That’s what’s so awsome about the Fediverse and Lemmy!
You can remove .midwest.social. They banned me because they said I’m a conservative and they don’t allow conservatives. I’m actually a vegan libertarian anarchist socialist, but meh…
And did ya notice that I use the same username on every one. So it’d be pretty hard to ban evade since I’m using the same freakin’ name. See my point?
Yes.
Reminds me of the “anarchist” magazine that launched in my old city where you had to pay 30 bucks a month to access it online, and it was for profit…
It quickly died out, as expected.

Many still do. I have no idea why they don’t.
Tor is an absolute must in situations like this. No idea why people aren’t talking about it more.
Dude you’re a serial ban evader.

Thanks!
One day I hope I won’t have to add another one.
