Mastodon would be okay if it weren't for about 17 very vocal gatekeepers who spend their lives lecturing everyone on how it wasn't like twitter and we should feel bad for wanting something that was.
I'm on an instance where that never happens.
Mastodon, like Twitter, suffers from the cult of personality. A few people get all the attention and think they get to dictate how things should work.
Mastodon does not need to be like Twitter, and it is a good thing the creators are not programming in all the faults like thought-shaping algorithms and automated censorship. These entitled idiots need to cool it or build their own program that works like they want.
