It's a double edged sword. Yes, mastodon.social is large and unweildy, but as the default it kept me from ignorantly joining a toxic instance like beigeparty. I'm for change, but it's yet to be seen how this plays out in practice.
A better solution might be something like an official introductory instance where you get 6 months to get your footing and then it prompts you to migrate and gives you a selection of vetted servers. Like pushing a baby bird out of the nest.

@contrasocial @andrewblasco @Mastodon Nice idea about the kicking from the nest, even if it were just a prompt without stick behind it. Even better if you could take a bit more with you when you leave: copy the stats (first registration to Fedi etc), archived version of your posts, or copy some of your content (shares, posts with most likes etc).

@contrasocial I'm curious what seems toxic to you about beige.party. It's friendly and well-run in my experience.
