Kbin just because I love the interface and I love the idea of having both articles and microblogs!

I have four!

Beehaw was my first, when I joined it was 3rd or 4th most users, but had just been upgraded (per a pinned post) and had a cool community vibe. This was like a few days pre protest I think?

Lemmy.one got made on the first day of the mass Exodus, and beehaw was STRUGGLING. I knew the mods were a small team and the server wasnt able to keep up so I went to a less populated instance.

Reddthat.com is new and I haven't used it yet, I went there because it seemed middle of the pack, and I wanted to have an account where I create a community.

And then lemmynsfw is for...actually, I miscounted I only have three accounts.

infosec.pub because their communities were interesting.

lemmy.ml says they are overloaded, I then found beehaw but they requires signup application so I say fuck it and choose lemmy.world instead.

Randomly came across mine. Was gunna join a larger instance just for testing, but it was right as the big Reddit rush was happening and my signups kept failing.

So I went with this one.

I think kbin.social is a bit more free speech. I want less moderation. Lemmy has easy tools to use to block users and communities I find offensive so if something really offends me it’s easy to block. I prefer to control it rather than having some petty mods play king with what I’m allowed to see.

If anyone has any good suggestions for other free speech instances I’d love to hear!

I'm using https://lemmy.dbzer0.com because I can't start an account in lemmy.ml

I chose kbin, loved the integration with mastodon

I was curious when I heard about Kbin. I like it so far

I made an account at kbin.social and just went with it. It's all gonna be federated anyway (unless it gets defederated) and each day actually feels like it's improving.

This was linked on some post about alternatives to that other site I want to stop using. And honestly I'm quite confused on the "it doesn't matter/it does matter" so I'm just rolling with it and not trying to worry about it.

Joined sh.itjust.works since it's located in North America, has open registration, and the admin sounds like he knows what he's doing running a server. I've stayed 'cause it's been stable and I like the admin's vibe. It and lemmy.world seem to have become the main large "general purpose" instances since they both have open registration.

I also have an account on kbin that I'm not using much at the moment. I think that site has lots of future potential, though.

funny domain name

I ended up with kbin.social since I liked the interface, liked the roadmap and existing integration with Mastodon, and because that instance was the one everyone was suggesting for KBin at the time. I'll most likely spin up my own instance for myself and maybe a small group of others to join.

I figured my instance would make it easier to satisfy my requirement to tell everyone I use Arch, btw.

Lemmy.world: because it was the top result on Google and I neither knew about the other servers nor remembered my experiences with Mastodon.

Probably going to stay here anyway.

Mostly out of laziness

Kbin.social has a good interface, a few userscripts to customize it as I please, and it was the first one listed on the website that was in english lol.

I'm on lemmy.ca because I'm Canadian.

It was near the top of the join Lemmy recommendations that day, I like piracy, and it didn't have any hoops to jump through to make an account, not even a email address.
