Everyone loves Activision and what they’ve done for gaming. There no way this could go wrong.

Even though I appreciate this post, I don’t think I will comment.

Honestly that’s probably the best sort of solution. A group that has some minimum standards of moderation and maintenance/upgrade management plan and just evenly distribute the load as people arrive.

Then as a second phase make it easy to transfer, that way at the point the user gets comfortable they can easily swap to a better* “home” for those that care, for those that don’t, make the server choice be virtually invisible.

As long as the fediverse has a barrier to entry for most people of mandating choosing a server first, it will never become the mainstream choice.
