I think people go the wrong way with instancing, I get it that people don't want to see certain things and that is true of everyone too but we should be doing that kind of filtering as individual users only after the instance allows mostly everything to come in, excluding anything obviously bad but not automatically excluding anything political in certain ways for example.

So that's why I choose things like peertube.wtf because it is everything minus whatever I choose not to subscribe to.

And Lemmy.zip because it is relatively open for everyone

People also go the same way with ai, trying to pin it down to specific things in its personality before you even prompt it, it should be biased towards more connectivity before you go pinning it down.
