@sbarolo The deeper question for me here is: their college kid just called **on the phone**. I mean, how is this usually accomplished in that family?

Richard Grant (richardgrant@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 07-Jul-2023 23:48:14 JST Richard Grant @dansup Daniel this is cool but ... is there going to be a mobile (and specifically an iOS) app?
I've been holding off really getting into pixelfed, though I've had an account for months, because I've been under the impression an iOS app was coming Real Soon Now. But instead there seems to be a stream of interesting innovations that — did I mention this — I'm holding off on investigating because, you know, no app.
I don't mean to be unfriendly about this, and I know you've got a lot going on.

Bush used to do. He would say basically, do you love America? then you have to support my invading Iraq to prove it. What, you don’t want to invade Iraq? WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA

I'm convinced the two-button solution you're contemplating — default server / "let me choose" — is the only one that will work, and the only one that is *fair to new users*.
Making signup a sort of roulette among multiple servers would expose newbies to the risk of problems that are not in your control, as well as create confusion as to who and what they are dealing with. If they have questions, whom do they ask?

Richard Grant (richardgrant@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 07-Feb-2023 02:16:09 JST Richard Grant @heinragas But where are these reports coming from? It would be surprising, I think, for @Gargron to leave the original, flagship Mastodon instance all but unprotected this way. I'd really appreciate hearing more specific details.
