@atomicpoet This isn't difficult to use, it's just different. I had more trouble mastering Twitter in the early days, than Masto when I joined last November - and I'm now using two different apps managing two accounts. I also get way more engagement here despite no longer having thousands of followers.

I suspect a lot of the complaining about how difficult Masto is comes from folks who simply don't like change, and also don't want to lose the clout they percieve they have on the hellsite. Convincing their followers not to move by publicly criticizing the fedi, is another way to preserve their own imagined status.

Kinda sad, really...
