fair enough.

> I have not decided yet, and the process of picking one seems somewhat fraught

as someone who has been on mastodon for quite some time, i highly recommend one of the general servers and then not worrying about it from there. there’s an awful of lot of nonsense panic from people about “oh noes! which instance!”

i just looked and these are a few of general servers that are open right now

mstdn.plus mas.to geekdom.social mstdn.social mastodon.world mstdn.party

also, after you join, one of the first things you may want to do is use one of the tools to find people who you followed on twitter. something like movetodon (super easy) or fedifinder (a little more difficult).

good luck! if ya have any questions, lemme know.
