True enough. I joined a British instance for reasons that seemed good enough to me at the time I signed up. I kind of pity any Canadian who decided to sign up with an American instance somewhere back in the depths of time, though—I don't think Trump will manage to put a tariff on electrons, but I wouldn't put it past him to try, and the last I checked, migration of accounts between servers in the Fediverse was still kind of half-baked.
