Re: Mastodon - wich server to

Am i right, that each server can have its own set of rules and that you could be canceled by your server admin if they think you promote what they understand as hatespeech etc?

Yes, each server has its own set of rules, much like a BBS. So it's a good idea to try to find one that seems like a good fit for you.

I have two accounts -- I post my retrocomputing stuff from kirkman@digipres.club, which is a digital preservation server; and more general or work stuff from kirkman@mastodon.social.

Not just a matter of finding rules you prefer - but finding a local
community with common interests is another benefit of federated social
networks. I'm on Tilde.club, a node that caters to people from a
handful of tildes. I've been able to find people to follow locally that
I don't think I'd find otherwise.
