Not when you or your friends are banned without even conveying why.
This behavior of the tiny little dictator wannabes, owners of servers, removing all content when it deviated from their sect of ideology.

I can't afford one or I would
and if I did I'd be a bit more democratic about banning someone or even restrict their expression.

As the climate has formed #fediverse just appears as a rich neighborhood of homeowners, federated, but really nasty to people passing through.

I can suspect the reasons, on this last by mastodon.social it was for being attacked by someone calling me a russian propaganda spam bot. But there was no response to why.
On climate.justice was because I mentioned somewhere the term autistic behavior, which is "ableist' language. Again no 2nd chance. Kafeneio.social was simply so they can remain in good fed/terms with climate.justice.

The attitude is the same, "this is private property, I don't have to justify a reason for throwing you out"

If it was m-l type of dictators I could understand, it would have been expected behavior, after all they wouldn't really be m-l if they respected any individual liberty.

So I can host, but what ip/domain do I use? Shared connection with dynamic ip doesn't provide much of a server. Cloud space is not that cheap.

I have taken some days, maybe a week off, because in my age to have to deal with such petty minded behavior is really impacting my health.

There seems that even on the "left" there are way more people eager to shut someone up than people willing to talk. We get plenty of this from governments and corporations to be doing it to "ourselves". Unless I am really naive who "ourselves" are.
