Everything is still shaking out. Expect changes, don’t put down roots until you are happy with where you are. Try out a few places and see what feels the most like you in the long run. Lemmy.world is in a position where they have to avoid drama. They are the biggest community and people are watching them the most closely. When something like this starts up, it can ruffle alot of feathers. People that will be itching to find something wrong with it that they can use to “prove it was bad the whole time”.

There are still plenty of options. If you like doing things that might be risky for lemmy.world to be associated with, a smaller server is likely a better bet for you. They can hide and wait to see what happens to larger more obvious servers first before deciding what level of risk is right for them.

And the tools to completely and easily swap to a new server are still being written. By the time a small server has reason to decide to take less risks, those tools will be ready to assist at the push of a button.
