It looks like you've been championing this issue for years now, but I didn't see any of the main people working on Mastodon address it. Is there a way you could get a direct response from them on why Mastodon.social (the instance they own) is the "default" instance on the app?

I am not one of the people who attacks Eugen personally, he's done more than anyone to popularise the Fediverse, we owe him. I don't agree with people who attack him.
But he doesn't really respond to criticism, and for some reason none of the others at Mastodon gGmbH respond about this issue either.
The only action Masto gGmbH has taken in response to my posts about this is banning me from trending on mastodon.social (that's why FediTips posts don't ever trend there any more).

and for some reason none of the others at Mastodon gGmbH respond about this issue either.
That is untrue, Andy Piper replied to the last popular Mastodon thread about this issue, saying that they will communicate about this issue soon

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @Eeveecraft@dragonscave.space Well, damn. Blocking (or whatever it's called) you from Trending on Mastodon.social because you have a point of view that "there's more to Fediverse life than Mastondon.social" is petty. Especially since the point of the Fediverse is decentralization.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @Eeveecraft@dragonscave.space To be clear, I'm not recommending, condoning, nor would I support, dogpiling on the moderators or instance admin(s) of Mastodon.social. That is not called for, nor acceptable.
@Still_Nimmy@starbase80.wtf @FediTips@social.growyourown.services @Eeveecraft@dragonscave.space I've been considering moving from mastodon.social for awhile, I just never could figure out out which server to switch to. I guess I should start looking more seriously now.
@ansonkennedy@mastodon.social
If you just want one suggestion a very similar and equally reliable alternative large alternative would be mas.to
If you want a selection of good medium-sized servers to choose from, you can find some at https://fedi.garden all of which are human-curated and have to be compatible with certain requirements listed at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site/
@Still_Nimmy@starbase80.wtf @Eeveecraft@dragonscave.space
Oh yeah, neither would I, and I don't think it's the fault of moderators on mastodon.social.
I think this problem is due to the leadership at Mastodon gGmbH, and they are the only ones who need to respond about this.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @ansonkennedy@mastodon.social
What's your opinion of .world? I picked this cause someone I was interested in was here, but didn't give it any thought. It's absolutely default, and reliable. The "default" is bad cause it's only 500 character toot limit, but otherwise, it works well.
@lxskllr@mastodon.world
I don't know much about it, but it is up to date on the latest version, it has a detailed published code of conduct, it has multiple staff, its admin has posted recently and it has been operating since 2022 so those are good signs.
Its about page is at https://mastodon.world/about
