I’m new to Lemmy. I came across join-lemmy.org and browsed the servers by “most active.” Blåhaj stood out to me because of its cute logo. I’m a straight cis girl, but I love the LGBT community, and being an escort I’ve met many trans girls (and some gay guys) through my work, so I’ll always stand in full solidarity with them. I also noticed that the instance has downvotes disabled, which made it feel like the right place for me, lol. Curious how it went for you all.
I started on .ee since they felt like the most open and least restrictive, leaving me to chose what instances and people I wanted to block. Then when they closed down I moved to .zip for the same reason.
I wanted an instance that would help police things like spam and bots without getting into their own personal political ideologies.
