gregfeliceKinda wondering if Mastodon is considering an alternative onboarding flow that avoids all the server lingo, and just chooses one with reasonable load. Server admins could opt in.. I see so many non-technical users befuddled by the entry process.. #mastodon #onboardingprocess #onboarding #friction
Peter Lacey-Bordeaux@gregfelice that might make sense if there were more servers that weren't attempting to build a specific kind of community, how many explicitly general servers are there?
@placeybordeaux just spitballing here. I think you can abstract away the server language under something more universally understood, like home or home community. Seems like there's a decision to empower the engineers who donate the systems to also curate and govern the population in their site, and I like that, but it's still confusing. I think the namespace needs some work. Regardless, so happy to be here and to feel I have a voice
