.world How does this keep happening? Do they ~~require proof of recent brain injuries to let people register~~ only allow adult religious converts on that instance, or do they just only advertise on 4chan and Reddit?

Edit: Sorry comrade. Genuinely. The coffee and covfefe induced hyperbole got me doing microaggressions out here.

I agree with the sentiment, but I'd tone down the ableism.

Lemmy.world is trying to replicate Reddit, though, in culture. It took off during the API thing, rather than a subreddit banning like r/TheDeprogram or r/Chapotraphouse, r/GenZedong, etc.
