minus-squareawwwyissss@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoTheir target audience is Westerner suckers gullible enough to have their opinions manipulated
minus-squarecan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 months agoDo they though? I was rejected when I first tried to sign up (when I was entirely new to lemmy) and they’re turning at least one user away now
minus-squareLvxferre@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 months agoAh, they do it now? When I signed up there (~3y ago) there was no such thing. Anyway, it’s still a problem because most users interacting with .ml content are from other instances.

minus-squareMaeve@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoYep. I was not accepted several times. Now I am
