    hexbear and lemmygrad are fantastic. makes me feel very welcome and safe as a queer person (i am bisexual) that the admins will always crack down on queerphobia in any form. very cool for our trans comrades as well! lemmy.ml is a close third place, many cool ppl on there especially comrade dessalines.

    lemmy.sdf.org when it works; federation there is kinda fucked right now, so I'm on lemmy.today for now. I accidentally posted it from SDF. Comment if you can see this.

    SDF has an extensive track record (* much longer than I have been alive*) of providing systems for the public good. If federation gets fixed (and it probably will eventually), I'll be back on SDF.

    Additionally, I generally don't want the set of people I can connect with to be technically limited, like at all. Yes that includes "all the bad people" according to your (and my) individual worldview. If they're going to exist, I would prefer to have advanced notice of the danger they pose. If you suck, I will block you.

    I'm not against moderated or curated instances, and for most people that is probably the way to go, but it's not what I personally need. Yes, this means that I occasionally get wild shit when I choose to scroll through All. Yes, that means I get various shades of genocide apologists and weird bigots, again when I choose not to browse by Local or Subscribed. That's why I'm subscribed to a bunch of cool, moderated communities. I choose the content I see.

    That is the approach I prefer for myself. Again, I understand that it's not for everyone.

    As far as instances where I'm not (yet) a member, lemmy.dbzer0.com is my favorite by far. Also while I don't have any communities on their instance, the startrek.website people seem to always have something interesting to say.

      Personally I am pretty bias towards lemm.ee, mostly because it's the instance I joined when starting out. I mostly do all because i personally don't prefer using local communities. Don't really care about federation, just like using lemmy either way

    Lemm.ee seems pretty okay.

    I don't care much about instances though, I just use Lemmy like it's Reddit and scroll through the home page and my subscriptions

    My main is reddthat.com

    Clear and open admins; smaller instance with room to grow; it's my personal favorite

    startrek.website definitely punches above its weight, was my first account

    But this alt on reddthat.com I use more because it has down voting disabled and it keeps me more zen
