What the May slowdown in #Mastodon sign-ups proves once and for all: making mastodon.social the default server does not grow Mastodon.

In fact, it may have hindered growth.

With Mastodon gGmbh now favouring their own server, other server admins are less motivated to provide horizontal scale for Mastodon.

Some of them, like home.social, might even be shutting down.
