What's a good instance to be on at the moment? (lemm.ee)

I'm looking for a new instance since lemm.ee is closing by the end of the month. What's a good instance to be on these days?

I'm looking for a instance with the fewest trolls, bots, and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes.

Depends; Closest thing to lemm.ee? Maybe lemmy.zip?

Here's my own choices:

lemmy.dbzer0.com (totally unbiased 😏)
lemmy.zip
quokk.au (not lemmy, piefed)
sopuli.xyz

Dbzer0 and zip are probably the closest thing to lemm.ee in terms of defederation.

Problem isn't so much defederation policy in and of itself, as much as it is just the general level-headedness of the admins

Lemm.ee's lead admin had exactly the type of philosophy towards managing this platform that I want to see in wherever I go next.

This post alone is what convinced me to create a primary account there. It's professional, level-headed, nuanced, well spoken, and you can tell they've actually thought a lot about the big picture in an unbiased way. Not aggressive, preachy, standoffish, snarky, snobbish, and above all, not reactionary. Seeing the instance as infrastructure is what I want to see more of, but I also just want to see admins with this attitude overall.

Unfortunately that philosophy led them to close down their instance due to burnout, so maybe it's not exactly a winning one 😅

I beg you, please take care of yourself if it's needed, take time off, relax, get help from others. I think you have a philosophy to not take money out of the donations, but speaking as one of the contributors, I think that's unfair considering the amount of work you put in.

What I'm saying is just do what it takes to not let it lead to burnout. I don't think anyone that understands the value of this instance would mind.

I'm not close to burnout but thanks for the concern. I don't run my instance like lemm.ee does for a reason ;)
