I see a lot of "don't join mastodon.social or other big instances" stuffs on the #fedi, but its kind of funny that there's really no good guidance for new ppl beyond "just pick one!"

Big servers are good entry points, at least until the fedi addresses it's kind of trash sign up process. Picking on ppl for choosing those gives "just use Linux" techbro vibes. Its gross.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://bardicperspiration.club/users/tiefling/statuses/114747047259157297 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
