Well that's because Mastodon has many shortcomings. Like the search sucks. It's hard to find people to follow without asking people for recommendations. Mastodon is scarcely a Twitter replacement; it feels like it was built to create extremely insular communities. Like Gab and Truth Social run on Mastodon's software.
@app_priori I sular communities that can federate. That's the draw for me, but may not be for others. I think I'm done with a Twitter-like experience but I know a lot of other Twitter "refugees" just will not roll with the new experiences. And recreating somewhere where news and information can be diseminated. I mean it seems like it would be an easy technical problem to solve and I'm surprised that it hasn't happened already.
