My random choice of instance over a year ago with zero research has worked out well so far.

Pretty good, it only defeds from two instances, one used by pedos and threads.

I just had all of my comments deleted by the mod of a vegan group because I questioned one person. Seems lemmy is bringing over mods from reddit and their attitudes.

I'm happy with it. I've gotten a few temporary suspensions for saying things that I still believe I had a right to say - but that's the thing, they're temporary suspensions for a reason. You sit through them, seethe a little bit, and champ at the bit for the opportunity to say the same thing again but angrier.
The only instances Lemmygrad defederates with are porn and fascist instances, which I think is fine - I'm not anti-porn, but you just make a second account for that stuff.
The only things that I think the Lemmygrad admins have a hard time adjudicating are "Internet Leftist" boutique issues - stuff that is rarely taken seriously by actual people in the real world but weirdos on the Internet think are very important.
My instance has been really good, with some hiccups, but I also appreciate that it doesn’t rampantly defederate (to my knowledge) because while I can handle a more overbearing moderation staff I like being able to see other instances and appreciate the dialogue going on in them.

I've been thinking about switching over to lemmy.today as it's not currently defederated with anyone, so I can decide who to block and keep for myself. It's based in Oregon, and I like the idea of joining an instance close to me. I do worry about Lemmy.world being so overly dominate in the federated-lemmy-space.
But many of the communities that I participate in are lemmy.world, and it's nice that they send me an automated notice whenever a post/comment of mine is removed. I've already subscribed to many communities and would have to do that all over again. and I haven't thought of a creative new username.

It's a little high for my tastes, notably in blocking piracy communities from other servers. I don't even care to participate in them; it's a matter of principle.
The automated censorship that keeps out CSAM and blatant trolling and scams? I love it.
The moderation that's done over the whole instance. That's understandable as it's a large attack surface for regulatory or state actor interference.
The community mods, that depends on the /c and honestly it's the same as it's ever been. It's wildly variable from person to person.
I'm on my own instance, so i dont have anything to complain.
