The title undersells the magnitude of the change a bit in my opinion. By default, mastodon now encourages new users to sign-up on <a href="https://mastodon.social" rel="nofollow">https://mastodon.social</a> which has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the fediverse.<p>Personally, I'm largely ambivalent to the change; I understand the reasoning, and it's what <a href="https://element.io" rel="nofollow">https://element.io</a> has been doing for <a href="https://matrix.org" rel="nofollow">https://matrix.org</a> since the beginning. It is more than a bit of a sea-change though given the fediverse's prevailing culture.
