I heard once that the case for which instance (for any federated app, be it Lemmy or Mastodon etc) on which to sign up is to choose based on “administration” not subject. That is to say, it is better to experience the fediverse through moderation and other administrative decisions than it is to do so on a server that is “subject based.” Thoughts?
I’m curious to see how this all plays out. I’m running my own instance and it will be interesting to see if small instances get excluded on any large ones due to spam or abuse. Not that I plan on letting that happen with mine but I could see it has an anti abuse measure in the future.
