@feditips It's super unclear to a new user what the significance of the server is and they need a reasonable default option to use prior to really knowing what it means.

Is there a trustworthy way to do load balancing and spreading across open servers? Make the default "the lightest loaded non-dead instance in my preferred language" rather than any particular server but still provide a default.

I signed up where I did just because it was neither full nor empty.
