What caused users to sign up to specifically lemmy.ml, instead of other servers? I am aware a lot of users signed up after the spez AMA, but even before the AMA the site was overloaded.

    I get a weird vibe, almost like “toxic positivity”, plus beehaw is defederating from two of the biggest servers, which seems to go against the whole fediverse ethos to me. I’ve also heard stories about inconsistent rule enforcement.

      I can totally get why it would be a turn off for some people but I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I’ve never been one to seek out safe spaces or anything but I kind of resonate with their “don’t be a dick” policy. I think asking people to be polite is a reasonable thing for the internet and world in general haha
