     @plinubius let me say this: The order of choosing a Fediverse service should go like this:

     1. If you already have an account on a Fediverse-enabled service, like WordPress or Threads, turn on the feature.
     2. Check if you have access to a Fediverse service with some affinity: your employer, your university, a club or professional organization you belong to. If so, use that.
     3. See if someone you know has their own server and is open to new users: friends, family, colleagues.

     @plinubius

     ...

     4. Sign up for a saas hosting service like Fedihost, Spacehost, or MastoHost or a cooperative like CoSocial or social.coop.
     5. Self-host.
     6. Sign up for a big service like Threads, mastodon.social, wordpress.com or Flipboard.
     7. Go to joinmastodon.org and search the list of open registration servers for one that seems reasonable.

     @plinubius So, if the choice is between signing up for a big service and signing up for a random service off the public list, big service. But there are a lot of better choices before that.
