definitely worth taking a look at different instances stance on defederation. after the whole ordeal with lemmy.world defederating with hexbear prematurely its worth taking the time to find an instance that aligns with your ideals and won’t remove communities you may find valuable. I personally dont align with hexbear’s politics but I think that its important to have an open federation policy.
its a feature on the OS yeah, but cellular carriers throttle the mobile hotspot speeds to shit if you dont pay for it. On T-Mobile if I mobile hotspot I get like 0.5 mbps
