Not all instances are going to be equal in terms of things like stability and uptime. It's going to be unfair and frustrating to users who might randomly end up on a bad instance. It might work if it only chose along the top x instances or something, to ensure a bit of reliability for new users.
That's true. On the other hand, we currently entrust this decision to people who know the least.
I think we should weigh the benefits of an uninformed decision against the benefits of making signup easier.
Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Not sure if top x is the right measure, but you're right reliability should be a criterion.
