Telling people to sign up on mastodon.social and then punishing them for signing up on mastodon.social is (with all due respect) not a good idea. It will make people feel gaslighted by Mastodon and put them off the network completely.
Encouraging people to choose a different server to begin with and helping them to do this is innately the most effective way to spread growth out. We know this because it worked when they did this.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @julian@fietkau.social any fedi app have any kind of wizard for picking an instance?
sorry for crashing the middle of your debate but that's how I'd handle it: with the client-side database. and then immediately export settings, maybe with a file including the name of the instance.
