@Mastodon I’m not a server owner or administrator, but could you clarify the term “open sign-up”? Many servers do not automatically approve new accounts to reduce malicious bot signups.

We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #Mastodon: Default Server Recommendations.
-
@Mastodon What would be great is to be able to see more than one server in the app, merged into a single feed...
-
@Mastodon I suggest a rule:
That the number of servers that defederate this specific server in her language is low.
To prevent toxic server.
-
@Mastodon can we have something like a quota? Not to overflow a small instance?
-
@Mastodon This is lovely, thank you so much! 💜

Ich könnte mir auch gut vorstellen, dass ihr die Instanz betreibt/moderiert und die Stadt Mainz euch lieb fördert🫢 -
@tragivictoria @WestLawns @Mastodon I prefer to forget about borders at least here.
-
@Mastodon I’d be interested if it didn’t require open reg. Reality is, opening up registration creates a massive headache. I’d like to see us get a trial signup mode where someone can join still use the service but be in a read only state until approved. Would solve the drop off problem registration reasons cause.
-
@Mastodon Very good. Sometimes one got the impression that Fediverse was finished, but it reads as if we have started something whose future is yet to come.
-
@Mastodon does "open sign-up" include required approval for sign-ups as well?
-
@Mastodon
just remember that "the correct language" is just a guess and may be wrong. Plus, for many users there may be 2, 3, or more "correct languages". -
It's a double edged sword. Yes, mastodon.social is large and unweildy, but as the default it kept me from ignorantly joining a toxic instance like beigeparty. I'm for change, but it's yet to be seen how this plays out in practice.
A better solution might be something like an official introductory instance where you get 6 months to get your footing and then it prompts you to migrate and gives you a selection of vetted servers. Like pushing a baby bird out of the nest.

@sebzuen @Mastodon
Not heard of Framaforms. I was going to suggest using https://cryptpad.fr/ which also has a forms offering. -
