Yeah, really. I get why some instances want to be selective, but it was a bit jarring to me just how many were when I was looking for a way to try Lemmy out.

There's nothing wrong with making an alt account for when .world is down. In fact, it's very much in the spirit of the fediverse to do so.
Something about living long enough and becoming the villain...
EDIT: Phew, my age is showing trying to use a meme phrase! This didn't convey what I intended. I meant to say that .world has been unfairly vilified by some. Will be more judicious in using this phrase in the future!
I'm sure it has, but not everyone lives (lived?) in Reddit like you.
It's not "bogged down," it's being DDOS attacked.
I looked it up, and you're 100% correct - you can tell because there's a stereotypical limp-wristed hand to the left of Che's face on that shirt, which you can see in the picture. No duality here, this guy's just another right-wing asshole.
And besides closing registrations, many others required that you request it, then wait for approval. Of course most went with the path of least resistance - I know I did (using an alt account now because of the DDOS attacks).
Downvoting for science!
With the return YouTube dislike add-on, it shows as remaining in balance.
TIL Moana's name means "sea."
