The horizontal axis reads "Wild West" on the left and "Walled Garden" on the right. Various instance domain names are placed on the graph. mastodon.social is near the center. mastodon.art is in the bottom right. linuxrocks.online is in the bottom left-ish. misskey.io is in the top left. wetdry.world is in the top center. infosec.exchange is slightly to the top and right

I spent some time trying to come up with ways to effectively communicate instance choice to new users, and I came up with this two-axis system. The horizontal axis is moderation strictness and the vertical axis is how much an instance feels like traditional social media
Does this make sense? Where does your instance land?
Roast my choice and placement of instances in the replies
