Mastodon is pretty awful still. Microblogging in general is awful but Mastodon has some particularly (in my opinion) awful fundamental design decisions. I don’t want to hate on them, so I won’t discuss what those things are. I appreciate that it exists and hope it does see more adoption but it’s just not for me, and I don’t know that it ever will be.
Add to that that I’ve never spoken to a human IRL that even knows what it is, and it’s not because I don’t ask. And that makes social media pretty unsocial.
Facebook has a ridiculous number of things you can do with a single account. On fedi those things all require different accounts and require people to follow all those different accounts. Bonfire looks like it may be a potential solution for that in the future.
Not saying that Facebook is great, at all, but that fedi isn’t really a suitable alternative.
At the end of the day people obviously just don’t care enough about any of these problems and have no self-respect and I’ve just pretty much sequestered myself from society entirely.
