The simplest way of describing mastodon is: its irrelevant. Almost nothing in it mimicks that total twitter coverage of some big event, no matter your nieche.

And even though twitter now isnt like Twitter before, its still much much more alive than mastodon. The only nieches that are active on mastodon are tech people and some governments and absolutely nothing else. No sports, no news, heck even tech is smaller, and of course, want to search for something? Good luck.

I agree with the author, the whole thing distanced me from Twitter, tried fediverse but it ain't there mate.
