I did it! I touched the Orb...

I'm playing this game for literal months, hyperfixating on it for some weeks until I get into frustration cycle and abandon it for months.
Most of my characters meet their demise quite early on thanks to my impatience and bad risk assessment (permadeath isn't great for risky players like myself :p).
I was playing around the new species (mountain dwarf) and the reworked god, Makhleb, to distract myself from a recent stress and suddenly found myself in the Realm of Zot.
After getting my runes from the Swamp, the Spider Nest and the Slime Pit, I headed to Zot. The area was pretty easy for my character except for one thing - Protean Progenitor.
The enemy would quickly build up magical contamination on me leading to some nasty mutations. I got berserkis before I realized this and couldn't remove it with my pathetic supply of potions of mutation.
Nonetheless, I entered Zot:5 and very carefully cleared th

How to get people to use Mastodon?

I'd like to add to suggest a couple of things regarding Mastodon and user onboarding/retention.
The Server Selection ProblemTM
The single biggest problem with Mastodon adoption is the fact people see talk about a server and give up. As such, servers need to be removed from the conversation and onboarding process. A server still needs to be selected for a new user, however, which raises the question: How should we select a server for a new user?
The obvious solution is to simply direct users to mastodonsocial, which is actually what Mastodon already does to a certain extent. The issue with this is that the Fediverse is meant to be decentralized. As such, it's counterproductive to funnel people towards a single server. This causes maintenance bottlenecks and privacy/data-protection concerns.
