"We used to say that it does not really matter which instance you choose when joining the Fediverse. Pick one, get started, and move later if you want. I still think this advice is useful for lowering the barrier to entry. But I no longer think it tells the full story.

Choosing an instance matters more than we tend to admit."

"In the Fediverse, community is not abstract.

Community matters more than algorithms."
