@tomw ?? You (likely) have a whole lifetime of experience with fruits. What they are. How they taste. Textural differences.

But yeah, sure, you also know everything about 25 randomly named servers, none of which have a description, and it was a simple choice?

That's rude. Give some consideration to normal folks who really have no idea what a "server" is or how to choose one.

Your post is insulting to all the non-techies who just want to leave the bird.

@tomw Your actual point would be more effectively made if it was made in the first post, not 3 deep into the thread.

Fwiw, I agree w/your actual point.

But your first post is just "rage bait" and I guess it worked.

@glowrocks @tomw Where are servers listed without descriptions? They almost all seem to have them on joinmastodon.org (where the concept of servers is also explained)

@hyperlinkyourheart @tomw This is a very useful page: joinmastodon.org/servers

I think it's somewhat new, and it certainly does make things easier.

I recall starting the app and being presented a list of servers w/very brief, if any, descriptions.

This is MUCH better.

@glowrocks @tomw That existed when I signed up! Maybe it's just the app specifically that's the problem? I've never used it, I signed up on the web and use Tusky.

@hyperlinkyourheart @tomw I don't know ... to me, the point is that mastodon used to be hard to sign up for and folks have done a lot of work to make it easier. That's a good thing in my opinion. There's probably more to be done, but it's hard for me to say, as I'm here now 🙂
