Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I heard once that the case for which instance (for any federated app, be it Lemmy or Mastodon etc) on which to sign up is to choose based on "administration" not subject. That is to say, it is better to experience the fediverse through moderation and other administrative decisions than it is to do so on a server that is "subject based." Thoughts?

Yeah, I haven't set it up yet, but if a major instances refuses to federate based on you allowing everything, it'll pressure you to restrict what they require. Almost an abuse of power based on access.
