MODERATORS
 

I would like to sign up to PeerTube, and I'm not sure which instance to choose. I'll mostly be commenting (I can't fedi-comment because dbzer0 lemmy throws an error when trying to do so), but I might end up posting videos.

My criteria are:

  • Not too small (I want an instance with low shutdown risk and preferably hosted by more than one person)
  • Not too big (because signing up to the already big ones is bad for decentralization)
  • Federates with most of the network, but blocks bad instances
  • Properly moderated
  • Good reputation
  • Lib-left owners/admins

Which instances fit these criteria the best? Which do you use? Which would you recommend?

I have TubeFree.org which is run by my nonprofit, BT Free, in hopes I can have donations to keep it going. It is small, but growing. I'm biased though. :-D
