"Wah wah it's so hard to pick a server!"
JUST LIKE EMAIL YOU NITWIT!
The problem is, and was for me too - that's not how people think of email. Saying "pick a server" is really arcane for most people, even "pick a domain." The fediverse as a whole has a terminology and jargon problem it still hasn't completely reckoned with, or at least figured out.
