Basically all you need to know is every instance has their own admins with their own rules, and often times you will see instances who are focused on a particular group of people, like my instance, for instance, which is for hardcore computer geeks, but where everyone is welcome regardless of whether or not they are even into computers.

I also like my instance because they explicitly choose to not defederate with any instance. I can choose what to block myself, which is how I prefer it.

There are also instances like db0's (former /r/piracy moderator) for example, which focus more on individual freedoms/anarchist philosophy.

I started off on .world for a month until I found my instance.
