Thanks for the suggestion, but after looking into this it would not work out for my disabilities.

Society thinks everyone is able-bodied. Until a machine is made so I can draw directly with my mind, creating art is a pipe dream. I need something that doesn't require any type of force, so no pencils, pens, mice, etc. I always associate the word "accessible" with disabled people so this meme was funny to me.
Medicare is federal health insurance for people 65 or older, and some people under 65 with certain disabilities or conditions. A person’s Medicare coverage will be the same no matter what state they live in. People with Medicare pay part of the costs through things like monthly premiums for medical and drug coverage, deductibles and coinsurance.
Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps cover medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. The federal government has general rules that all state Medicaid programs must follow, but each state runs its own program. Eligibility requirements and benefits can vary from state to state.
Medicaid offers benefits that Medicare doesn’t normally cover, like nursing home care and personal care services. People with Medicaid usually don’t pay anything for covered medical expenses but may owe a small co-payment for some items or services.

As others said, you would have to message the mods of the community or admins of the instance that banned you. Looking at your modlog, I don't think these can all be overturned since some are too blatant. But I guess you won't know until you try. In the future, only participate in communities you are interested in after having read the rules, otherwise it just seems like your intentions were to troll.

Fancy seeing you here, and requesting things I am also interested in 🏴☠️
A lot of people seem homeless in Hawaii because it is a very high cost of living state. Most people struggle. It is not the place to choose to live if you are poor. Have you applied for public housing? It will take 4+ years to get housing that way, but that is the way someone who lives on social security is supposed to afford housing. That is good news because otherwise you would be fucked without social security + savings. For instance, I am not allowed to have more than $2k total of all of my assets or I just lose all of my benefits lol (there's ABLE accounts but they are so restrictive you would have to put most of your money in a special needs trust that is expensive to setup. Plus all your money and assets gets taken by the state when you die).
A place like Hawaii will not have a lot of resources for the poor and disabled, despite what you think. Have you heard of Native Hawaiians being priced out of paradise (I assume you have since you spent 9 years there, so this is a reminder that this is the reality)? Many people end up leaving to somewhere more affordable. I understand you used to live what sounds comfortably in Hawaii, but in your situation I would have looked to somewhere more affordable, especially if you did not have HUD public housing already (which can be transferred state to state). Maybe you can brainstorm with your case worker about this. It does not have to be Thailand, but another state that is more affordable is what I would consider.
Edit: I used websites like this to find open section 8 waiting lists, hopefully this helps. Btw it took me 4 years to get public housing because I had to get on the waitlist to the waitlist which took a few months to open up and then 2 years on that until I actually made it on the actual waitlist and then 2 years on the actual waitlist to get approved for public housing.

Have you read the rules and guidelines? I am inclined to lock this until the other mods are active. You've broken quite a few of them.
Rules and Posting Guidelines
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.

Thank you for the kind words 😊

I had surgery last week. Nothing major or serious, but enough to immobilize me during recovery. I am already disabled with chronic pain so having even more pain that made me unable to get out of bed or use the bathroom without help was rough. I have recovered to the point I am more independent and it feels good to push through recovery. I did a lot of sleeping and resting and am feeling much better than when recovery started. I am still going to be recovering for another week or so, but it does feel good to have survived all of this (so far). It also gave me an appreciation that my usual chronic pain could always be worse, to really appreciate the things I can do rather than linger on what I cannot.
😮💨 Sorry but I am not looking for suggestions that I have to explain why I'm too disabled for it to work. Speech to text will not work.
