@atomicpoet @user8e8f87c - When I was looking for a server to join, I didn't want to join an activist server or an art server because even tho those thigs are important to me I didn't want to be limited to posting only about those things.

But I was very happy to find a regional server for my geographical area (once I was assured that I'd still be able to see other posts). Because that way I knew I had at least that much in common with my "local." That I was talking with neighbors.
