DarkBlade is a user on mastodon.cc. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.

Since Mastodon.social has been down for registration, what id driving you to pick your particular instance?
Personally I went with the next highest userbase, uptime, and the stated amount of federation.
How about everyone else?
@Rasgueado My friend @Tempben showed this to me. I just went with the server with the most attractive name + registrations opened. I figure'd since they we're all linked that it didn't matter.
@darkblade @Tempben the name was part of it for me too. It reminded me of Chuck Norris and the Octogon, which was used in a really good bit on the Colbert Report.
So far, most other people seem to have a better decision making thought process than I do. =D
