Hello guys! New here. I'm coming in peace from a friendly polish instance - fedit.pl. Actually I was contacted by Alice (I believe?) on one of subreddits, had a very nice chat and figured that this instance has to be quite cool. A question for starters - you are not federated - why? If you don't want to federate with all that crap out there, you can just put a few friendly instances on your whitelist in admin options (assuming they also have only friendly whitelisted instances).

Hey, welcome!

We're not federated because it's just too much drama and not enough reward. There are too many instances, many of them inactive, lots of people uploading sketchy shit which federates across, it's impossible to keep tabs on everything and lots of resources go into hosting that bloat which nobody here would care about. Fediverse politics are also cancer and every shitty admin thinks they're important somehow.

We just wanted a chill place to talk about shit and have fun.

I'm not opposed to federating selectively, with your instance for example. I mostly care about knowing that you actively admin it and I don't have to worry about dodgy content making its way across here - if that's the case and you're keen, let me know.
