I'm currently struggling to find my home. I have an account here at lemmy.ml, where most of my posts are, and one at kbin.

Why do you think your instance is the place to be?

I was told it was better for load balancing if we didn't all use the same one. So I just looked for one that had easy signups and didn't seem overeager to block stuff. Apparently, some from this instance come form /r/china. I'm not, but I do drink coffee. Anyway, I think it's working out so far; better than reddit anyway.

@wumpus @minorsecond Good for availability. Good for redundancy. Largely reduces and or eliminates opportunities for profiteering. Makes individuals more like first class citizens in the web. Long live decentralization and federation.
