It’s true that they’ll call you a “foreigner” to your face, but they don’t mean anything bad by it in most cases. It’s just a classification, understandable since these aren’t really “melting pot” nations. I’ve lived in all three places and never had anything but positive regard from people who see me as a foreigner. Even when I got arrested in Beijing, I was really impressed with how I was treated.
Whoops, double-posted.
Lemmy.world was my instance when I said it was taking 5 minutes to load pages. For hours this afternoon, I couldn't get it to load at all. Now it's loading semi-fast. No other websites were giving me issues when I was having these problems. Non-US user if that makes a diff.
Thank you, and understood. I just made another account at infosec.pub, but I'm not trying to splinter too much. I also noticed that when viewing this thread from infosec.pub, there's a delay on what appears. It took about 30 minutes for some of the replies that are here to appear when viewed from there. Is that normal between instances?
Do I have to re-register if I do that?
It's not misinformation. This is the first time I've been able to get the site to load all day and it's still crawling, though intermittently less and less.
Is that why it takes 5 minutes to load a page?
