3/ So here's the joinmastodon.org home page.

The tagline "Social networking that's not for sale" is okay -- and ironically sells me on Mastodon.

But the blurb underneath does not provide enough direction.

Instead, we're given two choices:

1. Get the app
2. Create account

If I get the app, have I "joined" Mastodon? No -- not necessarily. And this is the more immediate call to action.

The lesser call is Create account. Problem, as we'll soon see, is that this is no guarantee.
