I have to create throwaway accounts because I always get flagged/shadowbanned. I'm mostly a 4chan user.

I never had a Twitter account, and I don't even lurk, but I can tell you one thing for sure: Twitter will continue to exist long after Mastodon is a distant (cringy) memory.

I've been saying this for months now. Mastodon (and the Fediverse in general) is a failed idea. It may not be visible now, but it will be in a few years down the line.
The main problem is that it makes no sense. The web is already decentralized. The solution is many centralized forums with their own culture, idosincracies, quirks, not one huge soulless """decentralized""" network within a decentralized network.

Sure, now prove you're human. You have 30 seconds.
