Mastodon server admins, important news!
The Mastodon developers are going to stop suggesting mastodon.social as a "default server".
Instead, the "default" server suggestions are going to be ones for a user's language and/or geographical location.
If your server matches these:
- General public server
- Running vanilla Mastodon
- Mastodon Covenant compliant
- Have existed for 1+ year
- Have shut-down & disaster plans...then see this post for details: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115989802617165343

This is good news!
I know the apps sign up flow has been a concern of yours (and others) for a while. Hopefully this will result in healthier, more even distribution of new accounts across the network. -

@homegrown "running vanilla mastodon" will exclude a lot of good instances

And it's a really clever solution they've come up with, it solves two problems at once by prioritising servers in the user's own language or location and encouraging decentralisation that way.

This is good to see. I've watched the public exchanges about the default server issue and to see that it has been resolved equitably is nice!

It will, but getting them to steap away from recommending mastodon.social is a massive step in the right direction.
My understanding is they may tweak the requirements for being recommended, as this is the first iteration of doing this.
