I agree. Some people even get so caught up in Wetshaving that they run a Lemmy instance dedicated to it.

- Brush: Maggard 24mm 2 Band Badger
- Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)
- Blade: Bolzano Superinox (Germany) (2)
- Lather: Australian Private Reserve - Velours Noir - Soap
- Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Frankie & Myrna - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
I finished off my allMan balm (although I probably have a backup somewhere) which freed up the old Mammoth bottle with a pump. Goodfellow Face Lotion (a Target exclusive) has been treating me really well lately, so I transferred some into the pump bottle.
The lotion is very thick (similar to Declaration Grooming Liniment (but not as greasy)). I had trouble priming the pump, but now that it's primed I don't think I'll have any problems.
The APR soap base has always treated me well. I just load the dickens out of it and work it until it's not too puffy. I bet if I loaded a little drier it would be easier to work with.

I'm back home now so I could have picked a different soap to use, but this one was nearby and I've been enjoying it for the past 5 days so decided to give it another go.
I just checked and we have that turned on, too.
We don't get a lot of applications. A couple per week, maybe.
It's called Lemmy-Safety of Fedi-Safety depending on where you look.
One thing to note, I wasn't able to get it running on a VPS because it requires some sort of GPU.
Yeah, it's just something like "Tell us why you want to join this instance". If the answer is "to promote my content" or "qq", for example, they don't get approved.
It's done by the Lemmy software.
We require applications, and most applications we get are extremely low effort and we don't approve them. If you have open registrations you'll be doing a lot of moderation for spam.
Run the software that scans images for CSAM. It's not perfect but it's something. If your instance freely hosts whatever without any oversight, word will spread and all of a sudden you're hosting all sorts of bad stuff. It's not technically illegal if you don't know about it, but I personally don't want anything to do with that.
Long time no see.
I'm impressed that the splash/frag levels are already approaching 50% considering Roam Two hasn't been out for very long.

Nice shave with an excellent soap base. This is the older base called Canard.
I'm not a lawyer, but since Lemmy instances aren't "professional or commercial activity", I doubt a GPDR request would be applicable.
Some people who run instances might have the ability to do some sort of database export for a specific user, but the vast majority of us are just barely technical enough to keep Lemmy running and updated.
The last time I touched our database I accidentally wiped out all data older than 1 month and had to restore a backup.
I think we do have the option to remove a user by purging them through the UI, but an export isn't an option at this point.
What kind of problems did you experience? Do you remember what kind of razor you tried?
In the enthusiast community, Leaf is commonly used by head shavers, but Double Edge, Single Edge, Straight Edge, etc. are all much much more common for face shavers. There's far more variety which makes it "fun".
