There’s a service that has reviews of different instances (can’t remember what it’s called), and I once saw someone use the term ‘chaotic good’. Seems to fit - we have a pretty broad mix of folks across the political spectrum, freedom of expression is considered pretty important (within the limits of Canadian law and good taste, though with a couple characters who like dancing on that line a bit), and ease of participation at the forefront. Our admins are on the quieter side, but still very responsive when concerns come up and really committed to keeping things humming.

I’d say it’s pretty generic, with other interpretations coming in now and then based on whether a member of the userbase pissed someone off recently.

It’s mostly that we have one of the best names in the Fediverse - while it wasn’t originally intended the way most people read it, it reads as inherently anti-corporate and pro-user. Shit. Just. (fuckin’). Works.
