Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on?

Last I checked .today was defederated from one instance, don’t know why. I’m open to more info.
The description and the rules are boilerplate, no bigotry or transphobia kind of thing. The admins have been helpful and responsive. I can see why conservatives would join an instance like this, but there’s nothing inherently conservative about it.
When I joined the most-visited local community was conservative, but they’re pretty tame by right wing standards. A couple of the mods posted left-leaning articles to my community, too.
I don’t pay attention to a lot of Lemmy drama unless it crosses my feed, so I could be wrong. I came here to start a community posting independent media, this seemed like the most unbiased instance at the time.
