Fled Reddit to join lemm.ee a few months ago. It was a glorious few months, and I hope the admins know how appreciated their work was.
I’m very sad but grateful that there was a place to go where I felt like I could speak freely, read, and share information that is being suppressed on other platforms.
I was wondering what recommendations people might have for any instances that are allowing new users, and seem to have found a good balance between avoiding disinformation/astroturfing/bad actors, without swinging too far in the opposite direction and potentially suppressing information?
All good points.
Faster than .zip? Perhaps. But when I moved from lemmy.sdf.org to lemm.ee I went back to using SDF several times because .ee would have major slowdowns. Which is weird because of how hands off the SDF admins seem to be. Perhaps the performance has more to do with network location and resources allocated to the server?
Probably yeah. To be fair, I came from .world when I moved to .ee 2 years ago because of the almost daily downtime, so it’s a pretty low bar. I feel .ee has been performing exceptionally well since then though, and I immediately felt the difference when I moved to .zip. Not a knock on .zip though, I do like it here.
Ah, yes, I can understand that. I remember reading about all the issues that .world was having in the early days. Good to hear you like .zip though.
