What's the main difference between the main instance of Mastodon and others? I'm checking a list of other instances, but I don't know if should move to another
@Kyuuk Other instances have more of a HOA vibe where they squabble over petty things and block each other because of a personal beef between admins.
I've noticed that Sakurajima and it's counterpart are run by... Bigots...? Picky bigots. That is, they're mean.
There are also the really free speech instances, but then, you have to deal with chan culture and shitposteurs.
It would be nice to have something more in the middle, free expression but, uh, leave the outright hate at the door.
Qoto is an instance for STEM (Science Technology and so on) individuals, although it's not really an anime instance per se. It does have a long character limit (65k) and quote toots.
@wststreet @Kyuuk I know of a few complaining about that before.
It kind of makes sense, someone might not want to pick between a site where plenty think that hateful rhetoric is funny and a place without proper sexual / free expression.
And if you think of plenty of conventional communities, it's not as if they let themselves turn into a chan.
@olives @wststreet Yeah, you're right.
