nah, I'm bit regretting not signing up on their instance. sh.itjust.works is a cool name and can be a brag point. lol. lemmy world is a bit too generalist, but I won't migrate there as ruud (the admin of lemmyworld) is doing a good job managing the instance. I appreciate that. :)

For what it is worth, I looked at sh.itjust.works . Reason I choose beehaw.org was they were more local, and had more local content and users. Plus the server focus and values seemed to fit me better. Yes their domain is a bit odd but that was not a factor for me.

I definitely second the motion on it being a branding problem. Stuff like sh.itjust.works seem to me like something that dark basement tech nerds would come up with that is "edgy" and really only used by them and other people like them.

I'm not really into the ironic "edgy" aesthetic and part of the struggle with this transition for me has been orienting myself in the space because I don't want to commit to some "sketchy" edgelord URL
