If people can't cope with picking a social network server, how do they cope with picking a phone provider? Phones are federated and everyone uses them.
Obviously there's room for improvement in the process of picking a server, but it's kind of weird to say people will NEVER be able to cope with picking a server.

@FediThing@social.chinwag.org @masukomi@connectified.com @mcc@mastodon.social I agree with you in principle, and e-mail/ISP is the correct way to conceptualize this to other people. But to play devil's advocate, most areas don't have more than 2-3 providers available to them, and there's a lot more review/comparison material available to them on the web and in traditional media. It is an unfortunate truth that for a brand new user, no matter how many signals we put on the screen, there is no way to make an informed choice until much later.
