Only one that let me in (besides Lemmy NSFW)

The internet is a series of tubes, but unfortunately, I don’t understand plumbing

Furry. Some choices make themselves.

In all honesty, I’ve been in the fandom for years. External opinions fluctuate with the times, but if there’s one thing furries know how to do it’s build community with tech, adamantly support human rights, and be vehemently anti-establishment (EDIT: and apparently not count, I got distracted mid-sentence). A++, love being a stupid animal.

I started out on .world; then i found dbzer0.com, which aligns a lot more with my values (i personally am a socialist who also likes the idea of communism, but in the end i am simply against concentration of power and exploitation), and then i switched over to anarchist.nexus so i could use piefed instead of lemmy itself; the last move was a consequence of the lemmy devs being shitheads, even if they create good software. I still use the dbzer0 account while on my phone, tho.

Biggest local one, I think. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’d seen a lot of posts from blahaj’s admin, @Ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone, and I really liked her admin/moderating philosophy (particularly this post, which I have bookmarked it’s so good), and it was also where the big /c/196 community was. I don’t like having to deal with a whole subset of online people, and Ada does a really bangup job of banning those kind of troublesome people before I ever even see them or have to interact with them. My personal blocklist is almost empty, because Ada does such a good job of preventing me from having to interact with those people. Anyway, thanks for all the hard great work, Ada! You make my Lemmy experience so much more pleasant!

Kinda random. I create new accounts from time to time (you will never guess my previous two usernames), and this time I ended up on SJW because the admins were OK with activating my account despite using abbogus email address during signup.

My reasoning was, it seemed like one that wouldn’t die off in a year or less. Making it less of a hassle down the road when I need to start another account, add all or really all of the communities to my subs, and possibly having to transfer moderation to the new account.

Lemy.lol.

An instance with Peepo the frog as a mascot would likely be OK with content of varying quality levels and not be quick to censor. I was right, I love it here.

As a trans girl fem boy whatever transition beginner, I’m cautious about blåhaj.zone. In my experience they’re very discriminatory based on the gender identity of the poster and I have ethical issues with that.

I joined .ml because the devs are there.

Then I interacted with people, and realized that was a big mistake.

Spent some time on LBZ, but the admin is making a few too many choices for the users (I’ll block my own assholes, thanks)

So now I’m on sh.itjust.works

I like reading the stuff posted on !futurology@futurology.today, so I made an account on that instance. Didn’t think about anything else at that point.

SDF Lemmy doesn’t block anyone, so I alone get to choose who and what I get to see. Plus, SDF.org is older than I am, so I can rely on it being around for a while.

Mine is self hosted. I like having control.

I can also experiment with bots this way.

sh.itjust.works cos I was hoping it would just work

It’s just the most dominant german instance
