hypothesis: if too many early users sign up on mastodon.social instead of other instances, federation will end up becoming a second-class feature. (imagine what email today would look like if gmail had existed in the 90s.)

other instances need to be able to compete with mastodon.social for growth, or https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/177 should be implemented.

@bcrypt Federation will never be 2nd class feature for me.

@Gargron @bcrypt I also think, mastodon.social is now first class, and all other servers are 2nd class. Also there is not a clear 2nd choice available (as new user, which server should i choose? Where are the infosec people on?).

Imho a 2nd big server aka mastodon2.social would be ideal.
