I picked sh.itjust.works because it’s Canadian and the domain name is nerdy enough. It seems to be a decent instance, although I’ll move if I stop liking it.
Does it matter? With all of the defederation drama, I think it does. If your instance is quick to drop others, it seems like you’ll lose content.
AFAIU we’re still federated with some of the douchier instances and I appreciate seeing their memes and posts. Not because they’re entertaining, but because it’s easier to understand the asshats. When they creep into racism/phobias/hate I’ll be fine seeing them go.
I didn’t realise that one was Canadian as well. It did love the name as it vibes with my exact feelings as I’ve explored lemmy instances and this whole concept. Endd up at lemmy.ca as that .ca domain just sold it for me

I also chose it for the renewable energy server.
And it’s fun to 🛑 conversations that devolved into American politics BS, and remind users this is a Canadian instance.
Maybe voting takes a while, but I view it as the Japanese government in Shin Godzilla.
Doing things the right way takes longer and can be painful sure…but marathon vs sprint.
The Agora was a great idea IMO. One of the reasons I like it here.
