@feditips@mstdn.social Hmm. I don't know. I agree with everything you say here about the need to avoid one server becoming too big, but at the same time the "pick a server, any server" stage at onboarding has proved to be too much of a hurdle for far too many non-techie users. Perhaps this really is the least worst workaround for that—make one server a "welcome" server and then let people move once they've got in and had a chance to get used to it?

@feditips@mstdn.social I suppose if you wanted to try to spread new users around a little more you could randomly rotate the default "join" button to distribute users between a number of different major servers. But then you'd be left with the question of which ones and who would choose them.
