Simplified Account Creation on Mastodon

Mastodon is making it easier for new users to create an account on the platform by directing them to mastodon.social instead of prompting them to choose from one of the thousands of other servers. The change is aimed at helping new users get past the sign-up process and more quickly engage with others. Mastodon CEO Eugen Rochko says this change is necessary to make decentralization mainstream. Mastodon is also rolling out quote posts, improved content and profile search, and groups.
