What are good reasons for choosing one #fediverse instance over another?
As of yesterday, there is a good one: blocking policy.
Many users in my feed seem surprised that they can’t follow the (very few) threads.net accounts that are active in the fediverse as of right now, and that’s because their instance blocks meta.
Other good reasons are moderation policy, funding model, likely sustainability over the long term etc. But none of them are as clear cut as blocking meta or not.
