That is the problem.

The paradox of choice stiffles adoption for Mastodon for the regular user and pushes them away.

Choosing the main instance goes against the whole point of Mastodon for federation.

There was even a time Mastodon wanted to promote other federated instances by closing off the main instance, it failed.

You might as well use Bluesky or Threads and be done with it.

It's true, same goes for e-mail host, just so many options to choose from! /s

I never understood that point too. It shows quite some cognitive decline in the users mind. Searching for 20 minutes is now too much even if your privacy depends on it. I suspect also this was a well planted thinking point by the social media conglomerates.

I mean of course I have to choose an instance! That’s called a market. People have been lobotomized to prioritize monopolies.
