@luana @Mastodon @mrhamel That was what was there before, wasn’t it? Maybe not the ideal solution, but at least it presented the choice and something fundamental about the decentralized nature of the fediverse. If there was room for improvement, then improve it. Not just take it away.

People don't wanna know how their social media platform works, they just wanna use it. People also don't like change, there is a reason why many people don't like twitter but they are not willing to migrate. Making the sing-up process simpler and more straightforward, while also ensuring that users want go on a instance where their moderators see racism as nothing wrong, its a win for mastodon's UX. For the de/tion, it takes more users from centralized platforms.

@peterkal @Mastodon @mrhamel @vi And then when all mastodon users are in mastodon dot social, an idiot can just buy it and own most of the fediverse because people aren’t encouraged to choose a smaller server anymore. Great idea.

No, its different.
Moving from mastodon.social to another instance is not as hard as moving to twitter to fediverse. All it takes is some clicks with the people you follow and your followers coming with you.

@peterkal @luana @Mastodon @mrhamel @vi that's not true if your account is suspended. Ask me how I know (it's because I was suspended from masto.ai with no stated cause or warning)

Peter Kal replied to Zeke

@Zeke @luana @Mastodon @mrhamel @vi
True, but still is easier for your followers to, well..
follow you.

Zeke replied to Peter

@peterkal @luana @Mastodon @mrhamel @vi In my case, I was not able to set up the redirect from my banned account, so what I could export was the list of people I followed, but not my followers (or properly, I could export a csv list of them too, but no way to say 'hey, I've moved' and they're still following the old account instance)

I don't see an easy solution here
