    when I started here there were not many people and only some instances were big enough to interact. Have you been to .ml? only crazy ppl. So I came to world and prayed for the best

      while there might be some crazy people like that man of them have different options to the status quo and provide me with food for further thought. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything there, but that thay the same with any instance.

      i find how we are in this world isn’t because of the likes of the opinions on .ml bit the apathy and opinions of the average voter and citizen, so normal (as in under the bell curve) is the new crazy.

      an example

      Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction.” — Kurt Vonnegut

      this is the US now for example…

      i wanted an instance that wasn’t defederated from them.

      I went with .ml because (IIRC, I might be wrong) that was the instance that the people who made Lemmy used. I’m not wild about how .ml censors some words but it doesn’t bother me enough to change.
