Seriously, Mastodon has languished under Gagron and it’s probably not gonna grow much more. They spent years hemming and hawing about adding quote posts, they ignored the problems with onboarding for years before just defaulting to .social, they’re still clueless what to do about moderation and harassment despite piles of user feedback, bug reports, pull requests. This is one case where an open source BDFL just entirely tanks a project.
Not sure if it’s that unpopular nowadays. Starter packs, moderation lists, global search go a long way compared to Mastodon
