Imagine that Google made an email app called "Email" that hid other email servers than their own unless you went looking for them.
That's how I feel about a mastodon.social client being called "Mastodon".

@tek I thought the Mastodon client connects to any Mastodon instance? At least it does that for me. |
@tek I feel like there maybe shouldn’t be a project official app at all, but given there is and how much noise there is about how complicated “joining mastodon” is for newcomers, I kind of understand this choice. Hoping they will change it to be some rotating selection of “general” topic servers with prominent ability to choose others and more guidance for folks to migrate elsewhere once they “get” it.
