@jerry thanks, I have my shortlist down to two instances.

I currently lean towards beige.party. because whenever I browse its local live feed alongside mas.to, the beige makes me feel better.

Would you like to suggest any other instance?

@grahamperrin beige seems like a fine instance.

@grahamperrin @FeloniousPunk @LibertyForward1

I have no idea, sorry.

@grahamperrin I think we shouldn't go crazy with doing BSD only stuff. @stefano often posts other types of posts, and that shows that this instance is supposed to be more a hangout of BSD enthusiasts than a BSD forum.

Then again I don't know what you mean by things that don't belong in the cafe.

@grahamperrin Hachyderm's character limit is 2249 characters for me. I've mostly been able to fit my long toots in there, but if you need 2000+ characters you may need to try something else. Good luck finding a new instance. :)

Lots of options you have listed there. I don' think you need move though, but of course, that's up to you. I tried having more than 1 account and it was too annoying for me. I'm sure you'll find your "next home" soon :)

@thedaemon I never mentioned moving.

Sorry, I should have reworded that entirely! What a goofball I am. I was going to offer up my snac instance, but after reading your list I don't think this tiny snac will be what you want at all! :)

@stefano thanks.

I'm pragmatic about levels of engagement here and elsewhere.

Looking at other instances' local live feeds, in isolation, was … erm … I'm not sure how to describe the overall experience, but it was worth it.
