OK, so I have seen a few warnings now that my server might not be the best to be on, as the de facto standard that lots of folks flock to as ... :waves hands:
So --- where do I find the scuttlebutt (or, heaven forfend, ACTUAL DATA) about which servers have good moderation and good fediverse connectivity?
I'm happy to move. Once.
@jasonp AFAICS, the "fediverse connectivity" is the same on every instance (well, unless there unilateral blocking going on). If you depend on a large local or federated timeline on your instance (server), lookout for large(er) instances — but beware, depending on their funding and backing, they might run into similar issues as your current instance.
As for moderation, an instance in the EU should give you much free speech unless it's hate speech …
@wusel yeah, I am hitting up the api endpoints to get my followers in a queryable format and count up where they're from. That should work, maybe a little better than just keeping a tally by hand.
Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
