What Mastodon and any fediware need is a form to choose your instance :

• random general instance btw a mixed of a few middle size instance rotation every now and the
• fully random instance
• a instance rofly matching our liking through a short questionary. Five minutes max to make an account using a unified interface.

How do starter packs help Mastodon become a better platform?

Maybe they could also fix the “suggested accounts” feature so that the top recommendation for me isn’t an account that posted once 2 years ago.

Hell Yeah

My reading or the exchange is that Eugen only confirmed they’re working on “updates that would improve onboarding on Mastodon”; not “Starter Packs” specifically.
