https://ruby.social https://ruby.social is geared towards Rubyists but by no means is it restricted to only that topic.

Mathstodon is cool, and it allows LaTeX formulas in your toots: https://mathstodon.xyz/about https://mathstodon.xyz/about And if you are into data science and especially data visualisation, also check out vis.social: https://vis.social/about https://vis.social/about Both are also well run, IMHO.

I picked https://mstdn.io/ https://mstdn.io/ because it's a medium-size instance hosted in Europe, the sysadmin seems very competent, and the site rules seemed reasonable (especially where it says "We only block/silence foreign accounts and instances for legal reasons."). There are quite a few instances where a capricious admin gets to decide what content is acceptable for all their users. Even less transparent and less accountable than corporate censorship.

https://mastodon.technology https://mastodon.technology is chock full of geeks, so the local timeline is all people's hacks and bugs and side projects. It's one of the older instances, and it's maintained by this guy: https://ashfurrow.com/ https://ashfurrow.com/

  Do you know of any people with cool side-projects to follow? The current timeline on the front page is just people's randomness, which is to be expected.

  They block too many instances for weird reasons like libertarian ones.

For *BSD - https://bsd.network/ https://bsd.network/ BTW, maybe exists something like to the "Awesome-Mastodon-Instances" for IT? BSD have instance, Ruby have instance, but how about Python, Linux, Computer Graphics, Game Development and so on. :-)
