    I see. BTW, I never figured out the details either, but wanted to bring matters up anyway in case it still would be considered useful.

      wanted to bring matters up anyway in case it still would be considered useful.

      Honestly, I think the issue is still relevant because many users coming to fedi, don’t get exposed to this kind of discussion. I wasn’t. I was bored with mastodon so looked around and found firefish. But my instance was shutting down. So I decided to just use the source of all the *key software, misskey and went to sign up for misskey.io but couldn’t. I had to search a lot to finally figure out the situation. Later, I joined a smaller instance, instead of the flagship instance. My server admin is amazing. They run an instance that also follows US specific laws as well despite being primarily Japanese server because there are a few english users.

      What I learned all of these is that, mastodon is not fedi, there are a lot of software, look around before you settle down. And instances with small number of users form a better community. So, you don’t have to choose the largest instance out there.

      • I am not using misskey because I like loli stuff. I should’ve worded it better. I love my instance because our admin runs a great server.
