I followed advice that said to avoid big instances due to possible instability, but also avoid tiny instances because you don't want them to shut down. So I was looking for something decent size, but not huge. I also wanted to minimize defederation so I could make my own decisions on blocking. I narrowed it down to three. Since I'm 13 deep down, I landed on sh.itjust.works.
