The Fediverse is huge and overwhelming to a newcomer, with many different types and each with servers to pick from. Which ones would you suggest checking out or avoiding?

Avoid:
You may disagree with communists, but we are by no means fascists. Fascism is inherently tied to protecting private property and capitalism, communists oppose that and seek to collectivize production and distribution.
I mainly dislike lemmy.world because it’s Americans owning the place like usual.
Just a warning: Piefed has a lot of shady built in hidden karma. Like you posting “this” or a gif only detracts from your karma. They also block you from downvoting if you downvote more than you upvote. It’s not really free speech at all.
hexbear, lemmygrad as well. hexbear make themselves sound"cute" to hopefully trick people into engaging in thier instance, when in fact they are tankies.
Hexbear is openly communist, it doesn’t “try to sound cute to trick people.” That’s genuinely the community, tons of queer communists.
Fyi, you might to clarify that new users should avoid hexbear and lemmygrad.
If someone only skims through the comments, yours can read as an endorsement, especially since the user you replied to had endorsements at the top of their comment
If people are communists, I see no reason why they should avoid the communist instances. If you don’t like communists, wouldn’t you rather they be in instances you’re defederated with or can easily block? People can decide for themselves if they want to stay or not after checking an instance.
Joining a default instance is fine for beginners, but you can’t stay for long. Do a quick peek around, find an instance that looks cool, and head out.
