@tallship @jon @Vivaldi @mozilla @ruario Yes. I've been on as many different fediverse networks as I can for many years. Mastodon is too shallow and Twitter like. No special interest groups where you get to know the members, with 2-way dialog, which is missing from the Local timeline. Only in replies, but impossible for others to find later.
Mastodon has a quality UI and it is getting members, but with it's drive-by announcements style, it can't build communities as well as some of the others.
