@moh_kohn "choose an instance" is the first thing most newbies see - it's jargon, and it's alienating. My friend stalled, asking me "what's an instance"? And "how should I choose?" Come on, y'all can be friendlier than that 😥.
And, while I now agree I should (I did) choose by quality of moderation, there's no way I'd have had the info to do that when I joined. How can people possibly know?

@deborahh @moh_kohn @inthehands it would be nice if there was some kind of sort/filter function like when you're shopping on the web and/or a comparison function so you could select/eliminate instances that meet/don't meet your requirements.

@akamran LOL that could motivate moderators, if they knew their instance was being publicly ranked for things like:
â–ª how many instances block them?
â–ª how many of their users are blocked?
â–ª how many "reports" do they receive monthly vs number of members? What type?
â–ª do they actively moderate* LGBTQ hate?
â–ª do they actively moderate* racist posts?
â–ª etc
🤔 that would have been useful info to have!
* how could these be measure/ranked, tho?
