This was the first stable community on which I was able to make an account on, after many failed attempts at other instances. I had a lemmy.cafe account before, but I was not getting recent posts. Another reason is that I am mostly ok with this community’s moderation policies. When I was yet to choose an instance, I saw a lot of fearmongering in the fediverse about ml, hexbear and lemmygrad being very toxic communities. I put off for long till I got convinced that ml was actually a decent community. There will be some toxic users in any community, offline or online. But certain bullshit is not tolerated on ml, like ableist language, apathy to people outside the US, hate speech etc. So, here I am.
