What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?
Why did you choose your Fediverse Instance, does it have a bigger meaning than it was a bigger instance or was it for a certain reason? Did you have to be on your instance you chose?

I started with lemmy.world, the biggest generalist instance, as an easy starting point. I thought I would be interacting in programming and anime threads.
In the end, I end up discussing mostly weeb stuff, so ani.social looks more appropriate.
Also, I don’t know the specifics, but if ani.social triggered lemmy.ml enough for lemmy.ml to defederate from ani.social, it must be doing something right.
In my experience, the instance and community moderators of ani.social are based. I barely see any drama unlike some other instances. I’d say I chose well.
Why did lemmy.mo defederate ani.social? Sounds like some drama
After a quick search, the official reason is that ani.social is full of CSAM. Which is outright false.
My conspiracy theory is that those Chinese agents hate the growing soft power of Japan through anime.
If true it would confirm that they are, indeed, Chinese agents rather than basement dwellers that have drank the Kool-Aid.
Just to reiterate, this is a conspiracy theory.
Or is that just what the Chinese agents what you to think?
Hey if you find a good instance that is centered around what you enjoy amazing.
It’s a big bonus if it doesn’t have people fighting all the time.
