Dear @Gargron,
Please reevaluate your decision to incentivise centralisation on mastodon.social in the official app.
This is the sort of design a VC-funded startup would implement, not a non-profit acting in the interests of a healthy commons.
I’m sure you don’t want mastodon.social to become mini-Twitter and you don’t want to become mini-Musk.
That’s not how we win this.
More instances, not larger instances is the key.

The official Mastodon app is doing something new which is potentially very dangerous to the existence of Mastodon and the Fediverse.The official Mastodon app now prompts users to join mastodon.social by default, when previously it prompted them to pick a server. If you're new this may sound harmless, but let me explain.
The entire point of this place is to be a social network spread out on as many servers as possible (the reasons are here: https://fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse-on-so-many-separate-servers/).
