@SingingNala @objectinspace Because you can't have a smooth onboarding process unless you deal with the instance question. Lots of new users, rightly or wrongly, find that to be a huge friction point, and because discovery without a recommendation engine is incredibly difficult, you're left with promote one server or other. And since the Mastodon devs run two large instances, those are the ones they're going to go with.
