       I still haven't decided where to migrate after niu closure šŸ˜• and time is slowly but surely :blobcatfearful: Help me choose an instance. Any recommendations for friendly place with ideally both anime and IT stuff? :ablobcatwave:

       @absturztaube @Ste1lar I wish :-P But the whole instance is blocked by my corporate firewall so this means I wouldn't be able to use from my work place (according to them it is lewd stuff :-P)

       @Ste1lar @elthommy @absturztaube yeah absturztau.be is good. hackers.town is run by @thegibson and also seems fine. FreeSpeechExtremist has @p who is a super awesome dude. social.privacytools.io is also a possibility.

       @elthommy QOTO is a STEM instance (I'm its founder).. If your looking for IT but also the greater world of STEM as a whole we may be a good fit.Some info, while we are a STEM instance what we mean by that is all our users are STEM professionals or have a focus on STEM in their life in some way (even if just as a hobby). But we do not put limitations on the topics posted. So while there is a lot of scholarly STEM conversations or cool eye candy in our feed there is also a lot of just having fun and messing around.

       @0x00 @Ste1lar @elthommy @absturztaube @thegibson Thanks, you are entirely too kind.  FSE is friendly, has tech and anime, but...friendship may have different connotations here.hackers.town is blocking us nowadays, @thegibson didn't give me a heads-up.  :alexjonescrying: Not a lot of anime there, but cool people nonetheless.  (I still wear the hoodie, it's a cool hoodie.)Can definitely confirm @absturztaube is cool.This is a pretty cool list, by @wowaname, whose instance does seem to fit all the requirements of friendliness and tech and anime:  https://wowana.me/fediverse.xht

       @p oh wow I didn't know The Gibson blocked you. They're even on Opal's blacklist. That really sucks. Lots of good, talented people there, Gibson included. Ah well, I suppose you're used to it by now.

       @0x00 Kinda sucks he didn't give me a heads-up, we were on friendly terms, had conversed a few times, followed each other a while.  After he got [cancelled] and all of those people piled on and said he was a cop, he should probably know how much that blows.

       @p Wait... "cancelled"? Before or after forcefully defederating FSE?I mean you must admit, p, there's a lot of extremely toxic and general assholes in your instance. Racist, homophobics, etc. Not that it would justify blocking FSE but I can see how foreign admins would refuse to do the moderation job you don't want to do (not calling you lazy, but you maintain a hands-off approach to FSE, that's just how it is).Granted there's awesome people too, but again, even you had to place limits, for example to people like Jojo.

       @0x00 I didn't mean we cancelled him; I don't think that happens here.  It was lefty Masto because he did some security work for the government, so they were all "HE'S A COP!  I FEEL UNSAFE UNLESS YOU BLOCK HACKERS DOT TOWN!"  This was before they blocked us, I felt bad for the dude, told him to alway rember happy day (not my exact words).> there's a lot of extremely toxic and general assholesI don't think there are too many, but they do exist.  There are a lot of shitposters that get confused for X-ists or Y-phobes, and there are a lot of odd people here.  (I am an odd person myself.)Ultimately, they should leave it to their users to decide what they want to see and what they do not.  "Toxic asshole" is subjective, I'd call the block-happy admins toxic assholes.  (Not Gibson, but you know the type I mean.)> I can see how foreign admins would refuse to do the moderation jobI can understand some instances doing it, like berries.space, which is dead, but that was a kids' instance.It's jerk behavior to not give the admin a heads-up, though, and I think "Because someone is causing problems, everyone on that instance is blocked." is also jerk behavior.  When mastodon.social blocked us (we're just silenced now), it was because of a spammer that I banned anyway.  I think "I don't want to do the moderation job for you" is used by some admins as a pretext rather than a reason.Those people I don't give a damn about, they want to live in a gated community, that's fine, but it does suck when they misrepresent the situation to people on their instance or completely fail to mention it at all, and they often have an itchy trigger finger.This will all be largely moot when users:instances approaches 1:1, though.  I'd prefer sooner rather than later, but that is a hard problem to solve.

       @elthommy my most positive interactions have been with FSE, noagenda, shitposter.club, skippers-bin, and a few others.  If you're down though I'd say self-hosting is always a good option.  I haven't yet but I've considered it.

       @freemo thanks for your detailed message. I am indeed interested but I am a bit scared that my recurrent boost of anime topics/post might irritate some people. I just at a look at your instance and people seem serious and have interesting things to say. While on my I side I might only say interesting stuff 10% of the time and 90% "shitposting" šŸ˜„ You can check on my previous post and have an idea. However if it is not a problem for you I would gladly give a try

       @p @wowaname @absturztaube @TheGibson @Ste1lar @0x00 thanks all for your inputs. This is really helpfull and I really appreciate it. I am starting to review the list of instances and trying to make up my mind. For now there is 2 new criteria I am taking in account: I want ideally to be able to conenct to the instnace website even when I am at office and unfortunatly for me the corporate firewall seems to block access to some of the instnaces and I have no idea who filled it its blacklist. The other crieteria is that I am a bit reluctant to try out Pleroma instances ^_^ Anyway I have al lthe information I need now I need to give a try and choose an instance. Thanks again all!

       @elthommy @wowaname @absturztaube @thegibson @Ste1lar @0x00 Happy to help, hope you find one!  I suspect anyone that has their instance cut off by a corporate firewall might be interested in hearing your results.I think they were mentioned on the list, but I believe jpop.club (@igeljaeger@jpop.club) and carrot.army (@kro@carrot.army) would not hit any name filters.

       @p @wowaname @0x00 @Ste1lar @absturztaube @elthommy @mewmew @thegibson I generally agree that I’m knee-jerk reactive, enough that I got the joke, esp. with the name similarities.
