@ricbixter @feditips When I started, I was looking for an American server, to avoid any intercultural miscommunications as I became familiar with the platform. I didn’t want one that was ginormous and I didn’t see a decent sized server that had an interest that screamed out at me, so I picked a mid sized regional US server. I have to say that I’ve been very happy. The admin team at sfba is kind and responsive and keeps people in the loop. I’ve considered moving as some servers of my interest have popped up and grown more populated, but I am just very happy with sfba, so I haven’t moved. I don’t live in the San Fran Bay Area, but I happen to like the people on my server, so here I am.

But i follow and boost people from all over, so I actually don’t spend much time in my local timeline.
