I just left a comment 2 years ago or so that got me permanently banned and came here and never looked back. Can't get my wife to switch because there's not enough stuff here. She got an account but just went back 2 days later.
Main issue seems to be if your not a Linux nerd or into degoogling there just isnt much on here yet.

lol I remember getting banned from r/news and still have no idea what it was that did it. A couple other autobans from conservative subs, too, but it was when pissboy spez killed the API access that I fucked off never to return. I was a devout Apollo user and the official app can go fuck itself with rusty barbed wire with its sewage UI and ads. I had a 12 year old account, too.
Great quote but one of the points is that Lemmy makes it easier to switch between servers haha!
I feel that the best thing about federated social like Lemmy is just that there's no reason to engagement farm. Like I could get big on Lemmy but unless I'm able to direct that traffic somewhere else effectively, who cares?

Well done!
Welcome to our little hell pit, you new rascals! :)
I'm not European but isn't Lemm.ee American?
Estonian, .ee is the country extension
True, although it looks like a pun so I wouldn't assume it's someone registering their local TLD.
- .ml is Mali, but I'm confident the .ml instances aren't hosted in Mali.
- One can still register .su (Soviet Union TLD)
I can't find their terms and conditions, but they do mention the GDPR plus their choice of 16+ instead of 18+ for age restriction makes me suspect it's somewhere European.
