I could've sworn Mastodon's official app signs you up to m.s as the default instance now? I remember there being a massive roar on their GitHub when they started pushing the change.

Did it get rolled back?

No, it does. Sign up is extremely straightforward now. All things involving federation are essentially optional on the official app.
