Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

There is a spectre haunting the lemmyverse (lemmygrad.ml)

It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

This is why I made my own instance, when the large instances defederate from one another they are effectively censoring and controlling what you see. In most cases, that means banning any sort of marxist discussion.

There's some mechanics that need to be sorted out with federation. But I say this while not offering any help to Lemmy, so I'm just ranting and not criticising where the project is right now. They only have so many devs working on it and the founders are doing overtime to bring new features in.

I'm banned from lemmy world apparently which means that lemmy world users who interact on lemmygrad or any other instance will not see my comments, as they won't be federated (copied over to lemmy world's database essentially). I can see some problems with that because while I get the principle, it effectively allows instance administrators to determine who can read whom. If you make a friend on another instance too and they get banned or their instance defederated, you'll lose all contact with them.

Perhaps even worse is that lemmy.world users who come to lemmygrad won't be able to read my comments, which is just weird because this is my instance. I effectively cannot interact with them even on my home instance! Being an admin too makes it more complicated, like if I posted a pinned message to welcome users from X instance and I'm banned on that instance, they effectively wouldn't see it. You also don't get a notif when you're banned or unbanned, so you would never know.

But I'm sure these will be improved in due time.

I didn't see a site ban for you in dot world's modlog, but I did see this gem:
