mastodon meta, on recommending mastodon to people
if you recommend anyone to mastodon, give them personal recommendations with notes of experience with the admins ("hey i'm on [instace] and the admin has treated me really well and shares marginalizations with me and knows my struggle") instead of or as well as big lists.
when you give someone a list, all the options sound kinda the same. when you say "check out mastodon" people go to mastodon.social. people don't understand instances a lot.
