I picked sh.itjust.works because it’s Canadian and the domain name is nerdy enough. It seems to be a decent instance, although I’ll move if I stop liking it.
Does it matter? With all of the defederation drama, I think it does. If your instance is quick to drop others, it seems like you’ll lose content.
AFAIU we’re still federated with some of the douchier instances and I appreciate seeing their memes and posts. Not because they’re entertaining, but because it’s easier to understand the asshats. When they creep into racism/phobias/hate I’ll be fine seeing them go.

And it’s fun to 🛑 conversations that devolved into American politics BS, and remind users this is a Canadian instance.

Doing things the right way takes longer and can be painful sure…but marathon vs sprint.
