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.
joinmastodon.org (the 'official' way to get join mastodon), has a default server for its join button. To me this looks very similar to the default server that appears when you try to create a bluesky account. So... I guess that's not a barrier after all.
Yeah, they've implemented this a while ago, this year IIRC. People are on old information bashing Mastodon.
