@Gargron I like Mastodon. It is my preferred social network. I love being able to selectively disable person-boots — a feature unique to Mastodon. I have seen what hot buttons to avoid; I can’t recall any troublesome interactions in 2y.
It is also too technically complex and peculiar for a mass audience. It reminds me of 1994 Usenet. This is not a bad thing.
Thank you for the work you have done to build Mastodon. It is excellent work.
