   Makes me wonder… is it really worth it to launch a flagship server for public use?

   Instead of new users getting distributed, and communities decentralised, majority are flocking to the flagship server… and also wants a centralised community located on the flagship instance.

     @hackbyte Ah! Yes, “tiny series of flagship instances” can help. Something like mastodon.social and mastodon.online, if I understood correctly?

     Maybe something like a cooperative wherein the coop is used to set up and manage flagship servers. Each server has a certain limit (maybe user registrations), and before reaching that limit, they open a new flagship server (with the same limits).

     @youronlyone Hrm... In short. Yes.

     But we don't need just one new flagship server... We need a tiny series of flagship instances popping up, for several fediverse services.

     So that we finally get a sane way to assimilate all the newcomers from twitter, instagram, reddit and others.. ;)

     What i mean with a "series" is ... not just one flagship server per service... but.. Maybe a bigger one for the main influx ... and some several foundational or club based local area or topic themed instances, for people to differentiate out further on.. And so on.

     @hackbyte Ah. The big flagship servers will serve as a testing ground for new users to familiarise themselves.

     Then they can move on to a new server of their choice once they are ready. (With perhaps, bringing their content with them if that feature becomes available).
