What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?

Why did you choose your Fediverse Instance, does it have a bigger meaning than it was a bigger instance or was it for a certain reason? Did you have to be on your instance you chose?

while there might be some crazy people like that man of them have different options to the status quo and provide me with food for further thought. That doesn't mean I agree with everything there, but that thay the same with any instance.

i find how we are in this world isn't because of the likes of the opinions on .ml bit the apathy and opinions of the average voter and citizen, so normal (as in under the bell curve) is the new crazy.

an example

Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction.” — Kurt Vonnegut

this is the US now for example...

i wanted an instance that wasn't defederated from them.
