    That’s insane to think about. Imagine being locked from using devices you paid for just because someone misheard you.

    Well simply, for me it's just really janky to have to look at a community here, then subscribe to it from another instance in order to interact with it. There's nothing wrong with it, but I just would rather have an account here, where the majority of communities I'm subscribed to are. Seems a little simpler.

    YouTube is going to have a lot of trouble enforcing this. Lots and lots of people out there are going to be immediately at work finding ways around this limitation.

    I'll give it a shot. Logging in gave me the same thing and the "Forgot Password" isn't working (for me right now)... but I'll try again later tonight, hopefully less traffic then. Thanks for the answer!

  • First, sorry if this isn't the right place for this. I've got an account on sh.itjust.works, but I'd like to make one here since most of the communities I'm into are here. Problem is, once I hit the "Sign Up" button it just spins indefinitely. I let it sit for a while once, no change, then tried to log in, once again nothing. Is there some missing requirement I'm not meeting or something? Or is this just a result of the exodus of people from Reddit to here? If so that's fine, I'll just wait. But I want to see if this is something on my end or not.

    Using mlem... just kinda feels like Reddit thru a third party app I guess. Honestly impressed. Didn't have super high expectations but so far they've been blown out of the water.
