What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?Why did you choose your Fediverse Instance, does it have a bigger meaning than it was a bigger instance or was it for a certain reason? Did you have to be on your instance you chose?---@asklemmy@lemmy.world @asklemmy@lemmy.ml @asklemmy@sh.itjust.works#AskMastodon #AskFedi #AskFediverse #Fediverse #Instance #Question #FediQuestion

I migrated during Reddit's API debacle. I picked sh.itjust.works for several reasons:

  • No email required to sign up (at the time)
  • Hosted the only NonCredibleDefense community on Lemmy (at the time)
  • Had almost no defederated instances (at the time)
  • Consistent uptime (was 99% at the time and still not far off)
  • Hosted in Canada but accepting of US citizens
  • Powered by 98% renewable energy
  • TheDude abides

While some things have changed like defederating from more servers, it's left up to a vote by users of the server and the vote doesn't get proposed unless there's a good reason (such as a server being Nazi-friendly or constantly harassing/trolling users)
