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 out on .world; then i found dbzer0.com, which aligns a lot more with my values (i personally am a socialist who also likes the idea of communism, but in the end i am simply against concentration of power and exploitation), and then i switched over to anarchist.nexus so i could use piefed instead of lemmy itself; the last move was a consequence of the lemmy devs being shitheads, even if they create good software. I still use the dbzer0 account while on my phone, tho.
