mastodon.social dominates for one simple reason. The Mastodon gGmbH app now defaults to mastodon.social sign ups.

Selecting instances was confusing the shit out of people, so they relented and simplified the signup process.

What is gGmbH?

The gGmbH is a non-profit company with limited liability under German law. In German this is gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – gGmbH for short. Here 'non-profit' (gemeinnützig) means that the purpose of the company is to benefit the common good.
