@folkerschamel@mastodon.social that is a matter of opinion. Having a dominant mobile app with a default to sign up on the dominant server only simplifies the onboarding process, primarily leveraging people being accustomed to the old centralised model. Beyond that it diminishes and even could harm the experience, because in many ways dot-social is among the most user-hostile servers in the fediverse (the mainstream fediverse anyways), and people who have only ever signed up to dot-social may not even know that! For example: 1. It has a million people signed up with no sense of local community 2. It also has probably the lowest moderator-to-user ratio of all mainstream servers. 3. Consequently its public feeds are the most Twitter-like in some undesirable ways...least of which is trying to sip from the massive firehose of toots to discover people. 4. Because if the above some of the most interesting servers silence or even block dot-social to make the experience more pleasant, so you may be missing out. @seth@s3th.me @feditips@mstdn.social
