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.
Kinda random. I create new accounts from time to time (you will never guess my previous two usernames), and this time I ended up on SJW because the admins were OK with activating my account despite using abbogus email address during signup.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the email thing. That was another reason I went with Blåhaj: no email required.
