I feel like I’ve formed some sort of faithfulness towards dbzer0 and have a bias towards subs and users of my instance. Anybody else in the same boat?

    … what are your biases against me? 😅

    It’s interesting to see this in open discussion, as it’s something I hadn’t realized I did, but I do.

      How many of us just picked the server because we wanted “popular, but not the most popular”? I imagine that attracts a type.

      I’d want “bullied hexbear so hard they defederated out of shame” to be our bias if we get to choose. It’s always okay to punch bully a fascist.

        Wait, they defederated from us? I thought I was noticing less of their… uh… content around.

        Yup, that was me. Popular enough to stay around, not so popular it’ll get overrun by noobs coming from Reddit.

        I feel like it still kinda got overwhelmed due to some instability a month or so back, but it’s been pretty good. I might go elsewhere eventually since it’s getting pretty popular (may even make my own instance), but for now, sh.itjust.works.

      Honestly the sh.itjust.works instance is pretty on the level. I don’t find too many antagonistic folks on the instance and the conversations tend to be pretty varied depending on the community. I’ve seen you guys mostly around video game subs.

        I picked this instance because the name wasn’t too serious and at the time, it was similarly popular as .world.

        I’m really happy I chose shit because world became too popular in my opinion, and the admin here is pretty cool

          Same. I think it was the third or fourth most popular at the time, so I figured it had a good chance of not getting overwhelmed or falling into obscurity. I switched after the Reddit API announcement, but before the change went into effect, and I’m guessing a lot of others did too.

          It still works well, so I stay. I’ll probably move to a smaller instance eventually to help spread the load, but for now, sh.itjust.works.
