We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #Mastodon: Default Server Recommendations.
Our intent for this experiment is to recommend the closest server geographically that is in the correct language during the sign-up flow. We will be running this experiment on our iOS and Android apps only to start.

Federation isnβt just a feature, itβs how we reject oppression by design.
In the EU, Big Centralised Tech is facing fines for selling verification and hiding ads. At Mastodon, weβre building something different: a space where no one buys influence and there simply aren't any ads.
Checks and balances are our foundation, and kindness is our compass. π
