I would like to thank admins and moderators of lemm.ee for bringing up this amazing community. I was one of many reddit refugees and got lucky to find lemm.ee. I’m not really active user, more of a lurker, and lemm.ee let me explore all the (im)possible instances I could think of. Can’t explain the feeling, I’ll miss it probably more than I admit, cause it left an impression in me that people can do good things from their hearts.
Was thinking of going to lemmy.zip like a lot of other folks, but will probably try piefed and/or mbin first. Main reason being the ideological opinions of lemmy developers…
Once again: thank you for all your hard work, I really do appreciate it, even though I was just a peasant lurker. Thank you a good luck in your future endeavors.

The thing I liked the most about Lemm.ee was that there was a general policy against defederating. It let me drink directly from the whole lemmy firehose if I wanted. If I wanted to block individual communities or users, that was within my personal power and nobody decided to step in my way and decide for me. What is Lemmy.zip’s defederation policy? How many instances have they opted to defederate from?

What was the thing for UK users with lemmy.zip? I know I read it somewhere and forgot

I believe the issue was that the UK seemingly wants sites to block people under 18 from seeing porn by collecting IDs from everyone. Rather than police the ages of its users or remove all adult content from the instance the .zip admin decided to just block everyone from the UK to forestall any legal issues that might arise.
