Forcing users to "choose a server" is a hard ceiling on adoption for Mastodon (as I've commented many times). I recently joined Post and although they currently have the annoying "request access -> wait a week -> get email allowing access", the process was familiar and straightforward enough that I doubt the average Twitter user would fall out of the funnel.
