    The Fediverse experience starts with an unanswerable question: what server do you want to be on?

    I’m so tired of this nonsense. The very simple answer is “literally any server”. It really doesn’t matter. At this point most apps have a default server.

      Except it does matter. Your choice of server affects what content you’re allowed to see and what people you’re allowed to interact with.

        Yes but no, not really. Most instances federate with all the same other instances.

      Exactly! And even if a person gets it wrong, you’re encouraged to make an account elsewhere without fault or foul. That’s what I did. And what was I looking for when deciding on a server? “A general purpose server.” Oh, look World seems to be it, what a coincidence that it’s the top suggestion. lol…
