@thomasfuchs yeah I have no doubt that having to understand federation up front is a huge point of friction (and those who say that's a good thing can f*** right off). Moving servers isn't a perfect answer either though - people get frustrated/confused by that process too, and your posts don't go with you - but maybe improving the migration experience is a better place to put effort than on figuring out how to get new users onto a "forever server" up front.
