    Beehaw is a quieter experience than most because it has narrower federation, but you do tend to get a better signal to noise ratio since you miss the spammier instances - I like it.

    Beehaw also doesn’t federate downvotes which I think is an improvement.

        Posting from a Beehaw account I think does have a psychological effect on me that causes me to naturally tone things down a bit. I think it’s been good for me.

    • Yeah and in addition to that the overall “be(e) nice” rule means that people are generally just a lot more pleasant to be around and less abrasive than what I see in some of the other larger instances.

      Only issue is I recently opened another account because theyre leaving lemmy eventually and currently my posts dont federate and all my subscriptions are pending.

        Nothing’s concrete yet. I have accounts on several instances for their various advantages, but Beehaw is what I’ve settled on as my main “default” for now. The Subscribe Pending is a bug, I don’t think it affects your posts federating so they’re separate issues if that’s the case.

    I’m enjoying Beehaw. I really haven’t looked around at other instances that much, but it’s pretty chill here.

    lemmy.sdf.org when it works; federation there is kinda fucked right now, so I’m on lemmy.today for now. I accidentally posted it from SDF. Comment if you can see this.

    SDF has an extensive track record (* much longer than I have been alive*) of providing systems for the public good. If federation gets fixed (and it probably will eventually), I’ll be back on SDF.

    Additionally, I generally don’t want the set of people I can connect with to be technically limited, like at all. Yes that includes “all the bad people” according to your (and my) individual worldview. If they’re going to exist, I would prefer to have advanced notice of the danger they pose. If you suck, I will block you.

    I’m not against moderated or curated instances, and for most people that is probably the way to go, but it’s not what I personally need. Yes, this means that I occasionally get wild shit when I choose to scroll through All. Yes, that means I get various shades of genocide apologists and weird bigots, again when I choose not to browse by Local or Subscribed. That’s why I’m subscribed to a bunch of cool, moderated communities. I choose the content I see.

    That is the approach I prefer for myself. Again, I understand that it’s not for everyone.

    As far as instances where I’m not (yet) a member, lemmy.dbzer0.com is my favorite by far. Also while I don’t have any communities on their instance, the startrek.website people seem to always have something interesting to say.

      Personally I am pretty bias towards lemm.ee, mostly because it’s the instance I joined when starting out. I mostly do all because i personally don’t prefer using local communities. Don’t really care about federation, just like using lemmy either way

      I’m here for exactly the same reasons. I’m the one I want deciding who gets blocked.

      But I’m also concerned about its health. On the one hand, SDF hosts access to machines from the 1970s. On the other hand, sometimes my posts/comments from SDF’s Lemmy don’t appear to propagate.

    Lemmy.world for me.

    It’s generic, has a good list of communities, and the mods are legends with updates and transparency.

      I personally prefer using Lemm.ee, mostly because it’s the instance I started off with, but the problem with that instance is that it’s dry lol

    Lemm.ee seems pretty okay.

    I don’t care much about instances though, I just use Lemmy like it’s Reddit and scroll through the home page and my subscriptions
