So the way it was explained to me was like email. You can use your Gmail to send an email to someone using Outlook for example. So this post is hosted on for example lemmy.world (I cant actually figure out how to check yet) but I can still interact with it from my lemm.ee account. If for some reason I was banned from .world I wouldnt be able to interact with this post but would still be able to post and comment in any communities hosted on one of the other instances.

I enjoy the social aspect of running. Parkruns, Strava, meeting friends and getting coffee after etc.

I think the appeal of this one is different instances are ran by different people so you can’t really be “banned from lemmy” unless you seriously deserve to. I think the one you are one (.world) is run by more right-leaning mods while .ml is run by Marxists. No idea if mine has a political affiliation but it was the default option on the app I’ve downloaded.

Why do you need to be polite? If you’re direct or even rude you’re doing her a favour because it might turn her away from approaching other adults who would actually take advantage of her

haha yeah that’s stopping them

Like on a meta level maybe, but why do you think China or anyone else cares about something like your heart rate or workout habits?

Got permanently banned from Reddit for… who knows lol. Glad to be here :)
