No, it's mastodon but centralized. It takes all the difficulty out of signing up for the fediverse, like finding a server. I said it from day 1 on mastodon. We will never see mass adoption until there's a simple sign up process. People like centralized because it's easier.
Huh? The default Mastodon app signs you up on mastodon.social by default. Nothing complicated about that:

And the devs faced major opposition for that, because plenty of people accused them of wanting to centralize the decentralized network with that move.
