Mastodon is interoperable, decentralized, operated by a nonprofit, lively, and, ACTUALLY, isn’t hard to use. So why is everyone championing Threads as the main Twitter alternative?
1 part ‘Meta users ‘already have’ an account so getting into it is easy’, mixed with 1 part ‘The slightest possibility of inconvenience (like having to choose a Mastodon server) acts as a deterrent to most people when alternative means are available’.
I prefer Mastodon too lol
