In the ideal case every connected server should host a full and complete copy of the data from the originating server (as xkdrxodrixkr@feddit.org says, that’s B)

Reality is a bit different, but not enough to warrant always picking B. Just share whichever you’d like, but B is the most right.

Id only choose the instances a or c if b is or is planning to shutdown, or if I really wanted to show people what my home instance is
