Hey everyone, before you start dogpiling this person, take a step back and understand we're all one family.
When I first joined Lemmy, I joined Beehaw. I can't speak for all of the admins, but Lionir is one of the kindest most helpful people I've had the pleasure to meet. That said, between them not allowing community creation and defederating with the instance my football communities are on, I realised I had to find another home. If I was asked to articulate that at the time, I would've had no chance.
Our friend here is simply asking for an opportunity to commune with people beyond that of which his current admins enjoy. We don't know what it is. I can't speak for all of the people that were banned from anywhere. I know that I've met wonderful people from all servers. Yes even the terrible ones. Don't judge people by their instance. Unless they're admins and their instance is full of Nazis. Then please judge them.
I don't understand why you would take someone wanting to branch out and find their wings as a personal insult or threat.
Please just remember that we're a team. We make this place good by interacting civilly with one another.
Also if you are familiar with Rust or PostgreSQL, please take a look at the Lemmy Github and see if you're capable of contributing towards getting account migration sorted.
