I may have to change instances on this thing. The idea behind instance whitelisting was very good, but I don't think they can keep up with the sheer number of them, and I've already got some people I know that I can't follow here because of it.

It's not a BAD idea, but I'm not going to fragment my friend list.

@SomeEgrets Honestly, same. It was good at the time, but so many instances have popped up since then, several of which sound good.

It'd also be nice to be on a (small, registration-controlled) instance where I actually felt enough a sense of community to look at the local timeline.
