@rauschma@fosstodon.org I work in software development and manage multiple servers in my spare time.

I consider the fediverse (not specifically Mastodon) pretty hard to use compared to other popular social networks. And even though I'm technical, I'm often extremely annoyed by stuff like posts not federating properly, media (especially video) not loading, poll results not being available on remote instances, the inability to open links to private posts on remote instances (though, that might be a misskey problem), ... And then there is stuff like the initial hurdle of choosing a fedi software, an instance, finding people to follow, etc.
