"Now when new users join Mastodon from the mobile app, they may see a button to “join” a recommended server rather than the default “join mastodon.social” button that’s currently displayed." Wow. Didn't know that mentioning a server adds complexity. The bar is very low nowadays with all things digital.
I wonder why people see selecting a server as a hurdle when that's exactly what they're asked to do when making an email address
Problem is, younger people don't even do that when they make an email address.
They just "create a Gmail".
The internet has become such a sad place.
not even that. when setting up their first smartphone, either them or their parents just accept to create a google account
