I'll repeat: Nobody is "adding" friction. It's already there. And it hasn't prevented millions of people from signing up. Could it be made easier? Probably. But if it's done like Big Tech wants it done, THAT will assuredly kill Mastodon. |
@IAmDannyBoling @luana @Mastodon All depends on how you want to gain adoption. Adding friction by making a user select from a myriad of unknown servers would make the process all the more difficult. That new user may not know the admin/moderation team, and their account could disappear tomorrow without a trace. Mastodon is not novice friendly.
