Hey friends! I’m looking to sign up for Mastodon and would love to hear what drew you to the server you are on? Also, what are servers with good reputation?
Ah! I’m on Mastodon.world!
EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually…
https://mastodon.social just as I am on https://kbin.social
I kept it simple.
Why, https://mastodon.world of course, since it’s also ran by @ruud, the admin of lemmy.world. I feel he knows what he’s doing with hosting better than most instances.
Well according to commenters and posters in some communities, they themselves are the smartest and should be running the show.
I’m sure they’re welcome to, if they want to spin up their own instances. :D
See that would require more than being a keyboard warrior
I’m on mastodonapp.uk for the same reason I’m on feddit.uk; I sought out a local instance.
Calckey is a much nicer experience than mastodon; https://calckey.org/
Weird, calckey doesn’t work in my browser, Librewolf. I guess calckey does some fingerprinting or what?
Librewolf is a custom version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security, and freedom.Hm, works in normal firefox with various privacy settings on
Plasma Trap, KitsuClub (and KitsuGay for lewd stuff), Calckey.social, stop.voring.me and Lethal Lava Land are great instances.
mathstodon.xyz
It’s for people who like mathematics, I found it through an educational YouTuber. It seemed like a good fit for me, plus the name of the server is great.
deacon.social, as I’m Christian. It’s a niche community, but it works almost as well as the big instances, while defending the Federation system.
I’m on https://mastodon.world, but for personal stuff I created https://ruud.social and for hobbies I run https://pool.social and https://musicworld.social.
Oh and I also have https://calckey.world but I don’t post too much there.
LOL you run all of those Ruud! LOL
I run 11 fedi servers in total.
certifiable. LOL
I’m over at https://mastodon.gamedev.place and enjoy it a ton.
There are a number of prolific game designers as well as tons of indie devs sharing knowledge + life updates. A very cozy instance without any hateful BS.
I have 4 Mastodon accounts, 1 on Vivaldi (as I use this browser), and 3 on Polish servers. My main one is on 101010.pl (largest Polish, can read formatted posts), other ones are on pol.social and mastodon.com.pl. I was also on calckey.pl, but Calckey appararently was not ready for use - the instance is now closing down. I have a Polish /kbin account (on karab.in), and WriteFreely and Mobilizon accounts.
mastodon.world, clearly the best!
infosec.exchange, I don’t work in infosec but it’s a cool community
Linux.pizza because it had open registration at the time I created an account and I am interested in both, Linux and pizzas.
kolektiva.social, the name is cool and it allows 10 000 long posts. Also, it’s an anarchist instance and being an anarchist I kinda like that.
