Yeah, I'm on mastodon.world, lemmy.world, and kbin.social. I'm thinking of checking out peertube next!

[–] supercheesecake@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I’m on lemmy and kbin as well. But I’ve since realised that all (I think) places I want to follow on kbin I can also read and interact with from lemmy. So I’m thinking I’ll just stick with lemmy as my sole account.

Anyone know any drawbacks to this?

I've got an account on a small Mastodon instance that a friend owns (migrated to there from the big mastodon.social instance). That's pretty much it! @reil@oliphaunt.social! It's named after a silly design pun where I reshaped the onlyfans logo into a more mastodon-y oliphaunt.

Yeah, I'm @NoraReed@mastodon.social. I'll probably move off that instance soon though, I got a bunch of trolls recently.

I have five other Fediverse accounts, mostly on some flavor of Mastodon :) Most notably, @noracodes@tenforward.social.

What's your take on some of the differences between those instances?

[–] mtset@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

tenforward.social is a good general instance with wide reach and strong moderation in balance
weirder.earth is much cozier because of its extensive blocklist and community cohesion
one instance is for my family
one instance is for porn and NSFW posting in general
on instance is for a specific kind of fiction

I'm on Mastodon, myself. When I first signed up, I joined mast.o, but I wasn't really feeling that, so I did more research, found retro.pizza and realized that it was perfect for me.

Quite frankly, every server should have a "No Nazis, no TERFs" rule at the very top.

Every building should have that on the doors.

The fun kinds of conspiracies like cryptids and alien abductions are fine and not bullshit.

You had me at "fun".
