Mastodon, a decentralized social network, has announced a new default sign-up option to make it easier for new users to join.
The platform allows users to choose from various service providers, unlike traditional social networks where the platform and service provider are the same.
Mastodon believes that making the sign-up process as easy as possible will help attract new users and showcase the benefits of decentralized social networks. The platform has also upgraded its infrastructure and moderation capabilities to provide a great first experience for everyone who joins. The default sign-up option does not compromise Mastodon’s ideology of decentralization; instead, it helps the platform reach a wider audience beyond those who already care about decentralization.
However, for users who know which server they want to join, advanced server selection is still available from the beginning. Mastodon’s mission is to make decentralization mainstream, and the new default sign-up option is a step toward achieving this goal. By making it easier for new users to join, Mastodon says it hopes to engage them with the platform’s unique features and encourage them to stay.
