I just wish there was an easy way to find servers that align with ones morals? I left my first one due to them not defederating from Meta, next I chose an EU one, they suspended me for calling out blatant Israeli propaganda and now I'm stuck here because I couldn't find anything better. Being on here feels more and more like a chore and a LOT of servers make neither block lists nor rules beyond "don't break law" public.

@Craftycat I've included a pointer to that with my Fediverse app listings at https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/fediverse to hopefully help you with that. As @aral already pointed out, the FediPact instance listing is very useful there: filter for your service, then concentrate on those with either "fedipact" or "blocked" in the status column. Especially those with fedipact should be safe, as having signed it they showed they care.

@IzzyOnDroid this is a great service, I hope it'll be of use for people. Sadly it doesn't really solve my main problem, namely that anyone can start an instance and then boot anyone they don't like without even disclosing their rules to begin with. If I wanted to have my social media prescence controlled by fascists I could just hang out on twitter instead, at least there I know what I get. Here it's just guesswork and a constant risk of your instance owner being a scumbag.

@Craftycat if you check the terms and site rules, you should be usually well aware of how the instance operates: has it good rules? A positive sign. No rules at all? A warning sign. My guess would be a fedipact signer with good rules should be pretty safe. @aral

@IzzyOnDroid Do you actually think any admins put "must be supportive of zionism" in their instance rules? Because let me tell you, they fucking don't, just like musk doesn't put in the twitter toc that you must be a capitalist bootlicker with white supremacy disorder to be on there, yet lots of people get banned for various vaguely leftist posts.
