For an organization that uses a primary domain name <name>.<tld> for Web and email, what's the best domain to use for their Mastodon instance?

22<name>.social
51social.<name>.<tld>

@evan Honestly, I'd love for it to be possible for it to be <name>.<tld>.

@jesse @evan I've seen some do the <name>.<tld> for Fediverse accounts (librem.one, vivaldi.net), but then you have the potential issue of all the internet robots putting those account names into email spam databases. So I kind of like Fedi addresses being different with a "social" subdomain.
