Comment on [sh.it.post] We're #5! We're #5!
OpenStars@discuss.online 4 weeks agoI’m surprised to hear about the slowness issue - I think this is the first time that I have, though I am definitely spoiled at Discuss.Online that has such a great technical admin (he also is the one who was developing Sublinks, before life and a baby intervened:-). Is lemm.ee much faster than lemmy.world for you?
Tbf there is legit fear in the USA that Trump will start to place bans or at least watchlists on social media outlets that Musk does not make money off of. Then again, I thought that LW wasn’t really associated with the USA in any way besides having a bunch of users from it, and anyway you have found a perfect solution to the problem - if they don’t want it, go somewhere else that does allow what you need.:-)

Yes, MUCH. Sh.itjust.works is much faster as well. I don’t know if it’s because LW is still on 0.19.3 or what, but it’s a very significant difference.
LW isn’t associated with the US except for the fact that they’re keen to kowtow to corporate censorship to avoid being sued and the like. I don’t really blame them and it’s probably better that the largest Lemmy instance is more cautious to possibly take some of the heat off of everyone else. As you said, they didn’t serve my needs, so I went elsewhere - it’s what I love about the fediverse.

If LW helped you migrate from Reddit to the Threadiverse until you knew more what you were looking for and could find a true home in lemm.ee that meets your needs better, then both of them sound awesome at their respective roles to me.:-)
