It's not a big problem, it's an existential problem. There is no reason for the Fediverse to exist if most of it is on one server.
When I posted about this in 2023 on FediTips, mastodon.social's only response was to ban me from their trends.
When I posted about this in 2025 on my personal account, mastodon.social's only response was to ban that account from their trends as well.
This is not a sign of an organisation dragging its feet, it is burying its head or worse.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I feel like this exchange is unfolding less constructively than I had hoped. Did I come in too combative? I was hoping for more “what do we do about this together” than “your thoughts are worthless”.
I sure would love if I had any quant research to point to about the forgotten server issue, but I don't know if anyone did any.
I remain convinced that there are more fruitful paths to shrink m.s than to rotate the default server. It could be worth doing anyway, I'm not sure.
