Hopefully, the onboarding process will be revised so that @Mastodon is no longer the only default instance to choose from, but just one of many options that new users are guided through in a short guided tour of the app when they first create an account, in order to determine their interests and needs and ultimately offer them one or a maximum of three instances to register with, based on the previous evaluation.

This would be truly transparent and would further improve the decentralisation of Mastodon, instead of always directing everyone to just one instance, as has been the case up to now.

Excited to share our community vision for @Mastodon today: we are for the people.

This year our focus is on ensuring everyone can have a safe and fun experience on #MastodonSocial and #MastodonOnline, and doing more to support and celebrate the diverse servers running #Mastodon, its forks, and every #Fediverse application out there.

I'm also thrilled to share an important resource for our community: Community Standards.

This resource expands on the #MastodonSocial and #MastodonOnline server rules, to help clarify what is and isn't allowed on our servers. Let us know what you think.

I'm not sure but Mastodon.Social seems to have hidden there public feeds. Wonder if this is a push towards moving people towards other @Mastodon@mastodon.social Instances or something happened.

Either way I hope this pushes people to other instances and spreads awareness of decentralization over turning people away.
