Thing is, I've seen performance issues on some of the instances out there. Also, the UI could use a lot of work before it goes mainstream.

That's like saying "I've seen performance issues on websites", of course someone can have poor resourcing on their own servers — I think the biggest barrier for Mastodon is understanding how instances aren't individual monoliths and your choice can directly impact everything you do.

Yeah but Mastadon has to compete with Twitter, which already works pretty well. To go mainstream, they'll need to do better.

Mastodon has no burn rate. It can improve incrementally and snipe valued users.
