Not really. In fact, I’m only subbed to a handful of the subs on my own instance. I do think it’s run well, so I stick around and will probably throw some money at the admin once I figure out how to do so.
But I don’t care if a community is based on my instance or a different one. In fact just the opposite, I want to sub to communities across lots of instances so I won’t be impacted as much if one goes down.
I joined sh.itjust.works because I wanted an instance that just works, and it has delivered what it says on the tin.
yeah, like, its weird to feel an actual sense of community for an internet space but like, having met some of the users from here irl, being in some discords with a load of the trans power posters, maybe potentially getting estrogen patches from one soon (idk if it’ll happen or not but like it’ll be cool if it does) and like being on here for so many years i feel like, such a real sense that im posting with friends on here
Loyalty? Not necessarily. I agree with the admin and moderation policy, so far decisions in the community have been discussed openly, and I don’t generally find most of the users obnoxious.
That being said I’m considering spinning up my own instance.
Partly because ernest is great and working so hard on making improvements, partly because everyone is so supportive of him. It's just a friendly instance, mostly. I also moderate the politics magazine (community), so that's a bit of a factor.
Sorta? In that my instance generally handles defederation in ways I approve of more than any other major instances. But meh otherwise. And yeah mostly I have biases against instances as was mentioned
