I totally understand, and it's fine to direct new people to a "default" server so they don't get overwhelmed with choice.

The problem is if that default is the largest server, because it centralises the network and puts it in danger.

If JoinMastodon and the official apps could direct new people to another reliable server (and then rotate this default regularly) this would solve most of the problems.

That kind of default rotation is how Nextcloud's onboarding works, for example.
