@louis It's not him discouraging the users from picking an instance. It's the fact that it's actually hard combined with the fact that most users don't care that much.
Take me, a pretty technically advanced person who still ended up on the default instance after getting tired of choosing. And then a few friends simply went where I went.
@creepy_owlet @louis@emacs.ch You know what people who don’t care that much use? Twitter.
Round-robin the default instance and you solve the problem. Heck, you don’t even need that. Look at how @ivory does it. Beautiful experience that gives you options while also educating you. Or are you going to tell me the Tapbots guys don’t grok design?
