Mastodon.social doesn't want to be that big. Seriously! Ask them.
And they don't want to be the default for new users onboarding to Mastodon. Again, ask them.
But... They need this statement to be true: "A new user that joins Mastodon through the "join Mastodon" site, cannot accidentally wind up on a server that doesn't deny the 'worst of the worst.'
There is no way for them to ensure this programmatically today, so they're forced to do it.🫤
