As long as the fediverse has a barrier to entry for most people of mandating choosing a server first, it will never become the mainstream choice.
So what, should we have a website where you push a button and it sends you to a random instance to sign up?
See my reply to u/Rentlar, but for most users, yes, the easier the onboarding, the more accessible it is; the more people won’t immediately run away because they’re afraid they’ll make the wrong choice.
