#joinMastodon
This feels like the time a journalist claimed that Mastodon was created by "John Mastodon" because its Twitter account was @joinmastodon. Except this is even funnier.

they used us as a labor force to keep this shitty site alive until it sees the light of day, only to throw us away like a used condom afterwards. #joinmastodon

it would have been so easy for someone to say it works like email. you pick a host for your account, and you can talk to people on other hosts

but unfortunately joinmastodon dot com isn't obvious enough about this to the average person

sobs
the actual biggest problem with wanting people to move to the fediverse is that mastodon completely flubbed introducing the concept to the world, so it has a relatively small userbase and isnt viable for anyone who makes art for a living

I don’t think replicating JoinMastodon gets us anywhere good.

My suggestion was a setup per community … rather than just Dan’s page (or anyone’s one page).

The context is needed for a regional or interest community that one is attempting to onboard.

This would make for an interesting front end only ATProto project - make a standalone account creation interface.

Might actually pair nicely with
- @danabra.mov’s internethandle.org
- Blacksky, NorthSky, EuroSky options
- choice of domain name
- additional app explorer / new account checklist
Is there a decent non-Bluesky account creation frontend out there? I've got some people that want to join atproto but not Bluesky and telling them to go through the Bluesky flow but then enter `selfhosted.social` or whatever is confusing

Mastodon offers true decentralization, ensuring that no single entity can control or censor our conversations. Say goodbye to the fear of being silenced by authoritarian regimes or corporate interests. #OpenSource #JoinMastodon #FreedomOfSpeech #CensorshipFree #EUCommunity #SocialMediaRevolution

yeah I would love to not force people to go somewhere else manually and then come back. Bksy has a signup flow built in that works with any pds. no reason why apps can't have that as well. and then yup list some public ones, tho I hate the joinmastodon problem too

I literally just got banned from the social platform #Mastodon for literally just posting my Misogyny piece which merely details how Trump helps women more than ever, that’s data. Mere facts & data about helping women.

Fascist much? @joinmastodon

Joinmastodon confused the hell out of me when I first joined the fediverse, so I agree it’s worth exploring other routes.

I want to be able to offer a first-class sign-up flow without pointing to someone else’s brand, or over-stretching in this (charitable, rather than VC, funded) project.
