I want to know a definite answer to this question like either a 'yes' or 'no'. I don't want unnecessary knowledge of etiquettes like it is bad to resign to after first move etc. I just want the answer whether I have freedom or not.
Yes, you have the right to get banned.
You have the right to resign if you believe your position is hopelessly lost.

But the answer cannot be an easy yes or no.
Of course you may resign.
But at the same time, you may not throw games. But even there the situation is often debatable, and "depends".

Why do you struggle so much with common sense?
All rules exist in a system, but that system may be inside a bigger one that has its own rules. You have to abide by the rules of the system and at the same time of the systems above it. For example the constitution -> federal law -> state constitution -> state law -> industry regulations -> rules of the factory where you work at -> rules of the dining area. You have a right to resign in chess, and also an obligation to follow the rules of chess and of every system that is allowing your game to happen.

Why are you even playing chess if you habitually resign after the first move?
Yes, you have the freedom to resign, but if you keep doing it inappropriately Lichess will likely remove your freedom to play on the site.
I just looked briefly through all of your forum posts and interestingly they are all along a similar vein:

My best advice is to log out and take a walk in the fresh air, it will make you feel better

True
If you can miss a joined game (an appointment), show up late or officially withdraw, you can surely resign. To resign you had to show up and press the resign button. Resign is like saying you are leaving. Just don't abandon trying to succeed, say something before you go. Forfeiting often has consequences.
If the rule says you must play x number of moves before resigning than that's what you go by. Unfortunately the resign button is always visible. I think the resign button should not be visible until it's permitted to do so.

In the high-stakes world of chess, resigning isn't merely an admission of defeat; it's a ceremonial pas de deux steeped in history, strategy, and oftentimes, sheer absurdity. From the hallowed halls of over-the-board (OTB) tournaments to the digital arenas of online play, the act of resigning has evolved into a cultural artifact, complete with its own unwritten rules and peculiar traditions.
In casual games, the etiquette of resignation is often dictated by the relationship between the players. If playing against a grandparent, it is customary to never resign, instead opting to play until the bitter end, allowing them to checkmate you with a triumphant "Gotcha!" Conversely, resigning against a younger sibling typically involves throwing the board across the room to signal defeat, followed by a dramatic exit from the premises.
In timed play, the clock is king. Here, the sophistication of your resignation must match the time control. For rapid games (15 minutes or less), a simple, breathless "I yield!" will suffice. For classical games, a more elaborate concession is required. This could involve reciting a short poem or haiku reflecting on the ephemeral nature of your crushed position before stopping the clock.
Tournament resignations are a masterclass in theatrics. At the moment of resignation, one must stand, solemnly nod to each of the four cardinal directions to honor both the chess gods and fallen chess warriors, and then whisper "adieu" to one's pieces. Failing to perform this ritual can result in a stern letter of reprimand from the International Chess Federation (FIDE), and in severe cases, a two-tournament ban.
Online chess, free from the constraints of physical presence, allows for innovative resignation techniques. Popular methods include "ghosting" (abandoning the game without a formal resignation), sending a gif of a waving white flag, or simply disconnecting your internet to leave your opponent eternally wondering whether your resignation was a profound existential statement or just a router issue.
The lightning-fast nature of blitz (5 minutes or less) and bullet (1 minute or less) chess games calls for equally swift resignations. The most accepted method is the "panic smash," where one frantically hits the resign button multiple times to ensure the server acknowledges the surrender. It’s rumored that the record for most resign button presses in a single minute stands at 47, a testament to the intense pressure and reflexes required at these dizzying speeds.
At the zenith of chess prowess, grandmasters resign with a level of grace that can move spectators to tears. A grandmaster will typically signal their intention to resign by donning a black beret, pouring a glass of vintage Bordeaux, and reciting a poignant soliloquy about the inevitability of defeat and the beauty of a well-played game. This is often followed by signing autographs and taking selfies with the audience.
While resignation is an art form in itself, there are times when it is considered gauche or even taboo. For example, resigning while in stalemate position is seen as a faux pas because it suggests you don’t know the basic rules of the game. Additionally, resigning after just one move, although hilarious, is generally frowned upon unless you are playing a variant known as "single-move chess," which is celebrated annually in April (specifically on the first day).
In chess, resigning is not just about losing; it's about how you embrace that loss—with drama, humor, and a touch of creativity. Whether you're a casual player hurling chess pieces across the room or a grandmaster elegantly sipping Bordeaux as you lay down your king, remember: in the great chess theater, every resignation is a performance worthy of applause.
