DeltaChat also has a very easy onboarding process: you just put your name, and that's it. The app creates the password in the background and allows you to switch servers easily. That really helps with onboarding new joiners.

Piefed.zip could be a nice default choice. If there are others you see, feel free to suggest.

I really don't get folks that can't handle choosing something. I kinda feel I may be happier long term with the fediverse if that keeps them from signing up and engaging in it. Sorta of a you must be this tall to ride. You must be this competent to engage.

Ah yeah, gatekeeping, that's what we need more of.
