    I think the biggest thing is just including one of the oldest and most active instances in there. Hexbear (or Lemmygrad) is not everyone’s cup of tea but a default block, or even to lump them in with an instance like the one you mentioned is kinda crazy. Some of the other bigger instances out there federate with one or both just fine.

    That’s terrible and immediately makes me question the trustworthiness and motivations of a dev team that decides to block instances by default.

    I’m not saying they’re not trustworthy but that just feels icky.

    If you’ve gotten to the point of something as advanced as spinning up your own instance of a federated software you probably know who you want to federate with.

    Lemmy is established, having existed very long before. But also they work together. So unless you have some major issue there’s no real reason to up and switch.

    Having two softwares actually contributes to the decentralizing of the fediverse IMO, as long as we don’t devolve into tribalism and attacks between the two that deter new users…
