Paul Graham is leaving Twitter
For those wondering about how to sign up to mastodon and what server to pick:
It's like picking an email server. They all have their differences, but generally they are interoperable. You can read users from anywhere, and follow from anywhere. Better yet, it's fairly easy to move your account from one server to another if you don't like it.
Your best bet is some of the bigger second-tier servers (ones that have thousands but not hundreds of thousands of users) because they aren't as heavily loaded.

So Ummm How do I create an Account? And which server should I pick?
An internet search showed https://instances.social/ and https://github.com/McKael/mastodon-documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/List-of-Mastodon-instances.md. There is no website that lists all of them. While this might feel a bit annoying, think about it this way: Imagine looking for a new email-service, there is not the one website that lists all of them. Same here. Since it’s a decentralized service, that’s just not possible.
