HI, I had been trying to follow anti-tech discussion on a different account and had recently gotten removed from a second group. This time, they confused me of being a bot and didn’t give me the chance to explain that I’m not a bot. The first time I believe its because I had accidentally linked to something leftist in error and didn’t realize right away. The reason I have been trying to follow anti-tech and Neo-luddite is because it was making me feel good with all of the preserving nature talk, plus I read the Ted Kaczynski manifesto for starters and have it bookmarked on my laptop. If anyone can try to help me out or knows of another such group to check out, please let me know. I might be forced to create another group with my different account, figure out what to call it, and leave off the vetting for now to get people to join.

    Konala, from reviewing prior posts/comments, I think you mean well in terms of environmental conservation and being more cautious with technology, and so I’d like to advise you away from any groups regarding Ted Kaczynski fondly. I imagine you must be aware of what he did, and I don’t get the sense you align with his violent actions.

    Unfortunately the NoSurf communities aren’t very active here yet, but I think they may be a little more in line with where you’re coming from in terms of moderating technology use. You might look to the subreddit version as well in the meantime to get a sense of how others are trying to approach this.

    There is also !luddite@lemmy.ml, which may be somewhere in line with what you’re interested in.

    All this said, tread carefully as you try to find your way in these spaces and avoid being taken advantage of. I realize you’re not a bot and I don’t think you’re looking to find/join some violent group, but I’m going to lock this thread as it’s not very clear what you are looking for.
