Heads up:
It is with a heavy heart that I announce zzto will be shutting down due to me being broke asf. We will use up the last of the time I've already paid for, which will be up until Wednesday July 12th 11:59PM US EST, then we will be shutting down. Thanks to everybody for not being too retarded for us to handle and especially huge thanks to my co owner/admin @pizzamana for helping me a fuckton especially during the last 5 or so months where I wasn't very active. We lasted 3x longer than Chudbuds lmfao. If you want to migrate your account to a new Instance, I recommend doing so ASAP. DM me if you don't know how to do that.
@fartkart @CrackSmokerHD @cynxdd @RyeBread @sonichufan69 @magix will edit to tag anyone else who might want to migrate to a new Instance

Recommendations (not an expert but most lax moderation from what I've seen over the last 11 months):
shitpost.cloud
eientei.org
rdrama.cc
seal.cafe
freespeechextremist.com
beefyboys.win
Probably more I'm missing on this list. If you want to interact with users on poa.st, you won't be able to on eientei, rdrama, and beefyboys due to all 3 being defederated from poa.st.

You can also start your own Instance pretty easily if you want to and don't mind paying monthly for it. Prices start at $5/month for your own single user Instance going up depending on how many users you want to have on your Instance if any. This is good if you don't trust any janitors at all and don't mind monthly fee. Highly recommend if you can afford it since you'd be in complete control of everything.

Rip zztails.gay August 2022 - July 2023 final defed score was 328 (will probably go up anyways since we're on all the shitlists and the people who maintain these shitlists are too retarded to verify if Instances are still fucking alive)
