Mastodon server admins, important news!

The Mastodon developers are going to stop suggesting mastodon.social as a "default server".

Instead, the "default" server suggestions are going to be ones for a user's language and/or geographical location.

If your server matches these:

- General public server
- Running vanilla Mastodon
- Mastodon Covenant compliant
- Have existed for 1+ year
- Have shut-down & disaster plans

@homegrown What about keeping things simple? As a casual user, I do not appreciate all these channel changes.

It would keep things as simple as they are now, it's just changing which server is recommended by default.

It's important that the network remains spread out on many different servers for lots of reasons: https://fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse-on-so-many-separate-servers/

@homegrown Ahh yes. The kabal. Always, the kabal.
