What caused users to sign up to specifically lemmy.ml, instead of other servers? I am aware a lot of users signed up after the spez AMA, but even before the AMA the site was overloaded.

Just from looking at introductory stuff, I get a weird vibe. Several pages of just reading about it and positivity and how the rule(s) are vague/broad for a reason and its a little offputting. Im sure im just overreacting or something, and im sure everyone there is actually super nice, but ive always been slow to trust, and beehaw sets off alarm bells for me. Do wanna reiterate tho, everyone there does seem very friendly and im sure its great.

This, plus I heard that the admins on there can be inconsistent with rule enforcement due to the vagueness.
