Recommending lemmy.zip itself is problematic because it's blocking UK users.

    Ah, right.

    I guess it does prove the point that there is still friction in instance selection. I guess I can partly sympathize with those who get so overwhelmed at this point that they just decide it's all too difficult. People are not used to making their own choices any more.

    The good news is instance hopping is pretty easy. I've already done it twice now.

    The "It's like email" comparison is cliche for the Fediverse at this point, but it really is. Most people are gonna switch eventually for some reason or another.
