I've practically been groveling begging my girlfriend to switch.

Its not that bad just ignore the ads

Yeah I don't go in replies because it's always bots

There's still some things on there

She didn't really catch onto mastodon, discoverability is the problem imo. May try getting her onto bluesky even though it wouldn't be my pick. Some people just like whatever they currently have more than change - which maybe not being able to block like EVERY OTHER media platform may be a big enough change.
