Interesting revelation from #gargron in recent interview on server choices for newcomers (https://www.theverge.com/23658648/mastodon-ceo-twitter-interview-elon-musk-twitter)
“However, I think that possibly going forward, we might rework the onboarding user experience into **presenting a default option as well as an advanced option, where all that stuff with choosing a server would basically be hidden away from the people who get intimidated by choice**.”

I like the idea of an introductory server like a tutorial island, where the goal is to get new users off of it as they familiarize themselves with different instances.
This mirrors my own experience of hopping instances until settling into one that suits me.
@AuntyChrist @fediversenews @maegul @hosting This is such a good idea. A pretty tutorialized version of Mastodon lol.
