As long as the fediverse has a barrier to entry for most people of mandating choosing a server first, it will never become the mainstream choice.
So what, should we have a website where you push a button and it sends you to a random instance to sign up?
Just imagine the surprise when a new user is placed in hexbear or one of the porn servers.
oof, i learned about hexb the hard way, so i feel for these hypothetical users already.
