This. I'm a pretty sech-savvy person but I have procrastinated making accounts on any decentralized platform for years for this exact reason. I understand the federation but it seemed like a hassle to have to choose an instance (even if I know it does not matter). I was paralized by the fact I had to commit to one, and having to decide which one that would be.
Just link people to kbin.social and don't bother them with other instances unless they want to. They will find that out on their own eventually and either care or not.
