choyer (choyer@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 02-May-2023 05:05:10 JST choyer @Mastodon I actually find this measured and reasonable, in content and form. I do understand the concerns re too much centralisation but it’s still possible to choose another server on the app. People who can’t be bothered will of course choose the default but they would do so anyway (or drop from the process). Also, why all this criticism about the corporate tone? Professional communication is important and key to grow the user base beyond the enthusiast gang.

Right now, there's no way I can still easily find some of my own older posts to reference them later... so thanks for this!

Maddie ♾️ (moondancer0x@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 02-May-2023 13:49:37 JST Maddie ♾️ @Mastodon I'm optimistic that quote posting will at least be better here than on twitter due to moderation. I'm not in favor but I understand why people are. Hopefully it's good.
That said, I feel like there could be a better way than this form of centralization. Being able to choose a community is the best aspect of Mastodon and this obstructs that.
I forget who said it in the replies but maybe having a questionnaire suggest a server based on interests or something would be better.

E.g., here's how Phanpy.social shows QTs:

clacke (clacke@libranet.de)'s status on Tuesday, 02-May-2023 19:38:31 JST clacke @pabloscloud I can assure you that back in the day before Mastodon when we had groups, there were still different servers.
We even had groups intended for the users of one server, to strengthen the ties of that community, as there was no Local Timeline on GNU Social, and there still isn't to this day.
To correct myself: There have been groups all along, ones that Mastodon can use too, you just couldn't create them in Mastodon itself.

pabloscloud (pabloscloud@writing.exchange)'s status on Tuesday, 02-May-2023 19:38:33 JST pabloscloud @Mastodon I am still wondering.. What are groups? Like someone can create a group and others can join? Cause that would basically make instances useless and even push centralization more than recommending the mastodon.social instance imo

Is the change just that mastodon.social is the first one listed?
If that's it, I suspect most people will still be confused. I figured "Create Account" would immediately ask you for a Username/Password but also have a "choose another server" option as well. Or has the change not gone live yet?
