Hi, I’m Dee.

I was browsing through the various instances to join up with because I was tired of all the downtime with lemmy.world and I wanted to start using Lemmy as it was intended (spreading accounts out among more instances). That, and Beehaw hasn’t been quite as engaging since defederation with lemmy.world and other large instances (which is why I went back to the lemmy.world account in the first place). I get why they defederated and I support their decision, it just was an overall negative impact for me in my Beehaw experience since I was in so many other communities outside of Beehaw.

This instance seemed chill, it blocks Threads and exploding heads so that’s a great first impression. There’s a few more instances I’d like to see added to the block list but that’s a good enough start for me to get comfy here. The low user count has made everything just run so much quicker than with lemmy.world and I can still enjoy the same communities.

Happy to have found this place that appears to be here for the long haul and I’m looking forward to getting to know the local instance community more!

Edit: Sorry for triggering the snowflakes in the comments and for them feeling the need to provide substantial proof for why so many other instances defederate from them by default.

    The rules of this instance are clearly posted. It even mentions that if you don’t agree with them, you should find another instance. I consider this discussion finished.

          @rikudou i don’t, because I’d like to know how you square your claim to free speech against an exception that makes it unfree.

          Have you thought about this? What inspired you towards authoritarianism? Was it a troubled childhood?
