Mastodon streamlines sign-up process to attract users

Mastodon has simplified its sign-up process by making one of its instances, mastodon.social, a default option for new users. While users can still choose from any of the available servers, the new onboarding process aims to make it easier for casual users to get started on the decentralized social network. Mastodon hopes that by removing the hurdle of choosing an instance, it can better showcase the benefits of decentralized social networks and attract new users. The service has also announced that it has surpassed a billion posts per month and is continuing to improve its features and moderation tools.
