Mastodon server admins, important news!
The Mastodon developers are going to stop suggesting mastodon.social as a "default server".
Instead, the "default" server suggestions are going to be ones for a user's language and/or geographical location.
If your server matches these:
- General public server
- Running vanilla Mastodon
- Mastodon Covenant compliant
- Have existed for 1+ year
- Have shut-down & disaster plans...then see this post for details: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115989802617165343
This is good to see. I've watched the public exchanges about the default server issue and to see that it has been resolved equitably is nice!

It's seriously about time
Way past time, as a matter of fact
I've been on Mastodon generally since November 2, 2022, and it was an issue back then

@homegrown "running vanilla mastodon" will exclude a lot of good instances
It will, but getting them to steap away from recommending mastodon.social is a massive step in the right direction.
Also they do leave the door open for forked software instances. The exact wording they use on their criteria list is:
"Run default Mastodon (for now)"
Also also, this is just about the default instances recommended up front, they would still have the complete listing behind that which does already include Glitch etc instances.

@homegrown Good news. It's an awful introduction to the fediverse. Their local time line is awash with scams, porn, bots, and spammers

@homegrown it also has to have open registrations..

@homegrown it also has to have open registrations..
That's true at the moment, yes.
From reading between the lines on the responses by Mastodon's official accounts in the discussions on this, the requirements are not necessarily set in stone, especially on things that already allow listing in the main index like forked software and registration requests.
