People need to realize you can use alternatives

    It’s low stakes to you because you don’t care about it. It’s not low stakes for the people who set up instances specifically based around building communities with a common theme.

    • That’s very true! I don’t think it should be completely random but something instances could opt-in to or have some other opt-out criteria.

      It would indeed be bad if an instance focused on a specific mindset, goals, or subject was essentially invaded by clueless new users!

        I think it could benefit severely from having like a couple of “newbie” instances where people get placed unless they choose otherwise, where their accounts then have to be migrated from by choice when a month has passed or something. Like a beginner server on an MMO with people who help newcomers understand the basics.
