What led you to choose your current Mastodon instance?
Please boost.
@RuthODay2 The instance was set up by and for an old (going back to the early 90s) online community I've been a member of for decades.
So I'm voting people. -

@RuthODay2 I saw some other people on Twitter I respected were going here, so I figured it'd be a good place to start. I wanted a large enough instance to not get too embroiled in meta-dramas like far too many trans Discords I'd been in at the time, but still a pretty solid mod team all things considered. So I've stuck around. It's not perfect but it's been stable, great uptime, clean out the worst instances, and when I go to the mods with problems, they almost always are responsive.

The third option seems to be a catch all, between "I live in Grand Fenwick so grand.fenwick.social seems like a good one" and, at the other extreme, doing background checks on specific people.

@RuthODay2 Yeah, that's where I voted. It was at least a vibe check based on people who know people, but I'm not going to go down some rabbit hole of individual mods. I figured I'd move if the vibes went badly. And tbh I think I made a good enough choice. After all the .art and fedipact drama of 23 and 24, we still ended up with plenty of good instances federating with us, which is good enough for me.
