Not sure if this is the right place of introductions but here I go.

Hi I recently migrated here from Lemmy.world. I actually joined Lemmy back 2 years ago during the original Reddit migration. I didn't post so much and when Lemmy.world changed their policies on VPNs I didn't post or comment at all really. This didn't bother me much. Though recently due to some bad faith accusations made against me and also witnessing way too much of their unmoderated transphobia I decided enough was enough and came here. I really hope that things will be better here for me, that I'll be able to post and comment even though I use VPNs and Proxies, as this isn't negotiable. It is for my own protection and safety as a queer person. Especially in these dire times more than ever.

I like Anime, video games, and I'm also learning Rust (but I still suck at it). My favorite Anime is HunterXHunter (could you tell 😄), though I also like Naruto as well. In terms of games I enjoy Racing games, my favorite is Forza Horizon, I'm not very good at it though. I'm very glad I was able to join this server and I hope to meet other nice people, and hopefully have a better experience than I did (or rather didn't) on Lemmy.world.

Welcome! Being able to hide your IP, should be part of the human right to privacy.

Half a year ago I also made the switch from LW, for me it was more about having an instance with downvotes disabled as I don’t really like the sort of downvote for no reason culture some parts of lemmy have. I’ve really enjoyed my time here, and feel more connected to the instance and supportive of the admins than i ever did on LW.

Not just my IP, I have this browser configured to not remember anything from this session at all, so when I close it there's no history of me going to blahaj.zone or any other searches I've made or pages I've visited.

Welcome! I did the same recently. Blahaj is much nicer than world. I hope you enjoy your time here!

No problem at all! We have a signup process that pretty effectively lets us verify folk are legit before they join. Once you're in, you can use whatever you need to!

Welcome! I haven't looked into VPNs specifically, but I'm usually behind one and I haven't noticed any issues from it. For what it's worth.

It's a nice instance, I've been hanging around here since I finally cracked and started transitioning. The admins clearly put a lot of thought and effort into their work, which is really comforting.

I'm always behind a vpn, and have yet to have trouble commenting here :)

Welcome to the party! We're pretty chill around these parts.

Stop by the apartment of awesome (196) if you haven't already. That place is always hoppin.

Personally I'm a bit mixed on rust. The chemical process of it's creation is cool AF (there's so many kinds!) but it makes my car fall apart.
