I'm thinking of moving from mastodon.social and I'm curious about people's experiences elsewhere.
Stuff that matters to me:
* moderation, balanced by openness and being welcoming to newcomers
* fast updates / I want to forget about the tech stack because things just seem to work
* demonstrated longevity & sustainability
* an extensive collection of delightful emoji
* a name/focus I vibe with
What do you like about your current instance? What are the downsides?
