There’s very, very good reasons to not push people to Mastodon. What’s more important is asking, “How do you intend on using social media?”

Are you an artist who wants to curate your work? I’m not convinced that Mastodon is right for you.

Same with with anyone requiring rich text formatting. Mastodon is probably not for you, and that’s okay.

You have other options on the Fediverse.
