MODERATORS
 

cross-posted from my own post: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/60147011

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 can generally recommend peertube.wtf. 1.3k users (270 active), hosted in Denmark, good moderation. I think it's administered by one person, but they are active on Lemmy and can be trusted as far as I know.

It's just one guy? I feel bad about how many times I've reported unmarked nsfw accounts instead of just blocking them. I assumed there were at least a couple of admins so it wouldn't be too much of a burden.

Yes, it’s only me. But please continue to report accounts not using the NSFW tag.

Thanks for all the work you do!

Yeah, I think it's just @meldrik@lemmy.wtf
