I got banned from Hexbear (in my opinion!) unreasonably, cannot appeal the ban or anything because my account is based in Lemmygrad

NOTICE:

I realise now that the main problem here was my post on Hexbear, It was shitty and failed to get across my actual views. I still wish I could've been allowed to properly discuss it, but I understand the decision to ban me. Looking at my original post, I can very much get why that is ban worthy, even though that wouldn't be my decision. What happened happened, as much as I'd like to further expand upon my views, I'll try not to waste your time by trying to explain my views that I fully do not understand, that I've developed throughout the process of arguing with people in the comments. I feel silly for making this such a big deal, sorry. You could look through my replies here to see a further expounded on version of this post here. It really boils down to misunderstanding and semantics, I agree with most of the substance of the comments on this post on their face, it is just that often argued in favour of things I didn't mean to. My view of anti-Semitism boils down to, yes it is present, but it is not systemic. As I already mentioned, you can look through the replies if you want to see more of that

You are conflating Judaism and Zionism though. You were banned because you were saying bullshit pulled from thin air. Do some self crit
- The fact that a majority of Jewish people still support the modern Holocaust is not "bullshit pulled from thin air". Nothing I said was counter factual.
  Again, I struggle to understand which exact part is conflating Judaism and Zionism. You'd do well to point out which part is problematic here. I'm sure I am repeating myself, but I really want to get it across, I did not expect to get banned for a poorly formatted post. There should've been some form of discussion, as the name @askchapo implies there will be.
  How am I supposed to do self crit if I am not even allowed to hear counter arguments, respond to them, and generally just discuss my views?
  
  You’d do well to point out which part is problematic here
  you already know the problematic parts. to reply to your most egregious one: just because zionists exist doesnt mean jewish people arent oppressed all of a sudden.
  here should’ve been some form of discussion, as the name @askchapo implies there will be.
  nobody owes you a discussion. get over yourself
  
  Get over yourself
  I have not said anything hostile about anyone here, not you, not anyone.To belittle me instead of responding in a meaningful way, handwaving at some abstract anti-Semitic aura you sensed, is not gonna make me understand what I did wrong, why I deserved a ban.
  I've explained it already, but @askchapo is specifically made to discuss things. Not to mention the entire idea of an internet forum, generally, is to discuss things! So it is not ridiculous to expect to be allowed to discuss things, instead of just being banned with less than a sentence of reasoning.
  
  yeah i wont respond anymore to your 'market place of ideas' excuses
  
  I'm sorry for bothering you and others on Hexbear and lg. I hoped I would be able to have a conversation with the people there, I very much should've not posted that, it betrayed my views in the sense that it sucked at getting any of them across and created a lot of misunderstanding. No one got what I said, I tried to improve upon it here. I just wanted to defend myself and be able to get to an understanding, I am sorry if I failed on that. I see you're being rather hostile and I just want you to know sorry I am asshole to you here. You do not need to respond anymore. I wouldn't be keen on arguing with you all if I would've been turned into a punching bag for a day, then moved on.
  
  It's called @askchapo. If discussion is not something that is wished there, they should rename it to something else. Someone might reasonably misunderstand, ask the wrong question, then get banned and not learn anything.
  Jewish people are not oppressed, that is a fact. Xenophobia exists, yes. Institutionalised anti-Semitism does not exist. If your view of oppression is insults that do not translate into state repression, then white people are also oppressed.
