Folks seem reluctant to join Mastodon because the signup process is a bit more involved. Specifically the choice of server is what puts people off.

Yet this is intrinsic to the nature of Mastodon. It’s federated - distributed and decentralised- so that one person or company cannot control the whole thing.

We should celebrate this aspect of Mastodon and not be afraid of it.

@badams I’m on this server and another Irish one, on iOS you can long press bottom right to switch accounts so switching between the two which initially seems inconvenient, is actually exactly what you need, otherwise my SEO community would be drowned out in the Irish madness 😁
