Fediverse Welcome Pod proposal

We could create a group of instances specifically for people new to the #Fediverse
The welcome instances would have good enforced moderation and community standards, a safe space from the beginning
New accounts would automagically get one of many welcome instances, no need to choose an instance
Welcome instances wouldn't necessarily be forever homes, but could be
They would limit the number of accounts per instance

Fediverse Welcome Pod proposal cont'd

Admins and moderators of Welcome Pod instances could work together ( or even moslty be the same people )

The instances could have a welcome committee helping people get started on the Fediverse

We can close signups on an instance if accounts go over a limit

We can re-open if accounts go down to 75% of limit, e.g. due to people moving to another instance

Fediverse Welcome Pod proposal cont'd

Welcome instances can gently encourage them to find long-term instances once they've had some time on the Fediverse

No requirement for people to use the Welcome Pod.

The Welcome Pod would solicit donations from Fediverse to fund the effort

Welcome Pod service could host multiple Fediverse services, Mastodon.WelcomePod.example, PixelFed.wp.e, BookWyrm.wp.e, etc

Wording and logic on all of the above can certainly be improved.
Name can also be better
