    Yeah I don’t blame you either. But I do think the default server should be more inclusive than less, particularly at the potential starting point of a user’s introduction to the fediverse.

      I could see that argument, but I also wanted to pick the best instance for most people, not necessarily an instance that works in every country with every shitty law. We’re all volunteers here.

      And I might change in the future, or create a way for the app to chose a fallback default instance for a better user experience.

        Yep, a region check that sets an alternative default for countries that are blocked by the default server makes way more sense than the default being inaccessible for them.

          A region check might be a good way to handle it and load balance at the same time. Pushing people to a larger variety of instances while also making it easy on them. The down side is certainly the overhead of vetting and maintaining the list.
