We should just point normal people to the biggest instance and never mention anything until they're settled in.
It is the most viable strategy, but we did that with lemmy.world and now a third of the fediverse is screeching about censorship on the largest instance and directly shitting on LW users.
A third? Are you sure that you aren't in an echo chamber?
Hyperbole. It's obviously not a third of the userbase, or even the recently active ones, but whenever the topic of moderation comes up, there's always a vocal portion of commenters (mostly of the ML persuasion) complaining about the violation of free speech as they (mis)understand it. It's been like this ever since Lemmygrad and Hexbear were defederated and piracy@dbzero was blocked instance-wide.
Lemmy world is good I barely ever see people mad about it.
