I like the fact that mastodon.social is the biggest instance, but I would leave for an instance that is paid only, say $10/month, has a cool domain name, and thus can afford to raise the rate limits.

Mastodon.social feels like early Twitter both culturally (good), and fail-whale-wise (not good).

@gruber what could be cooler than @[email protected]?

@radu I’ve given that a lot of thought but I don’t want to be responsible for the instance. I think.

$6.00 a month from @mastohost https://masto.host. Took me just a few minutes last Friday. Great service.

@gruber I see I was late to the party with this recommendation. And realize in hindsight that the $6.00 plan wouldn't work for you. But the higher level plans probably would and it's super easy.
