The official Mastodon app is doing something new which is potentially very dangerous to the existence of Mastodon and the Fediverse.
The official Mastodon app now prompts users to join mastodon.social by default, when previously it prompted them to pick a server. If you're new this may sound harmless, but let me explain.
Thanks for your appeal! We are administrators of a Friendica instance, but we are also great Mastodon enthusiasts (we also have an Italian instance dedicated to journalism and science!) and we would be very sorry if @Eugen Rochko insisted on this centralized strategy! W the federation, w decentralization, w the Fediverse distributed everywhere!
