Erm, no, I'm not sure I like that idea. I personally think it's crucial for new users to understand the concept of multiple servers and why they have to choose one when they sign up. If they understand *nothing* else about the Fediverse, I think they need to understand that. It's fundamental. It's pivotal. FEDeration is in the name, and without multiple servers, federation can't happen. And without federation, we have no Fediverse.

If we don't teach new users about that from day one, then... what are we even doing?

(If my assumption is wrong and you're not just defaulting to a particular server, then feel free ignore this rant) :)
