I'm wondering if lemmy.ml is the first or the oldest alive instance ~~(it's a server!!!)~~ or if it's just one of the fastest growing instance ahead. 🙌⬆️ the precambrian lemmies!—only maybe know before I step on this world.

Yes, the rest of the world got the extra security restrictions in order to fly. I'm in Europe and we generally have better, faster rail networks than the US (and everything is closer together) so we don't fly as much as Americans.

I used to work in the US about 10 years ago, and the contrast between that and when I visited in the 1990s to go to Graceland is pretty stark. It takes forever now to get through those TSA queues and immigration. You could also smoke on the transatlantic flight in the 90s!
