Dear @Gargron,

Please reevaluate your decision to incentivise centralisation on mastodon.social in the official app.

This is the sort of design a VC-funded startup would implement, not a non-profit acting in the interests of a healthy commons.

I’m sure you don’t want mastodon.social to become mini-Twitter and you don’t want to become mini-Musk.

That’s not how we win this.

More instances, not larger instances is the key.

@aral @Gargron We need a good idea how to mitigate the issue with service selection. One proposed to call instances communities. It might also be an idea to direct people to local servers or topical servers by asking them where they live or what they are interested in, like: "To improve your experience, we want to show you communities near you or topics you relate to."

@prefec2 @aral @Gargron I think it'd be cool if the onboarding site let you put a bunch of tags in and gave you a feed of conversations around those tags. Then when you want to jump in and contribute, have some script work out which the most appropriate server is based on the conversation you want to join.
