@LeoSammallahti I chose to join Social.Coop after seeking out an instance with:
1. A sustainable financial model
--> Servers aren't free! And in the long-run, the finances will determine how long an instance sticks around and who ultimately controls it.
2. A conscientious process for governance and moderation.
--> Who am I trusting with my data and DMs?
--> Who is responsible for keeping the nazis out, and making decisions in harder cases?
