Been using Mastodon since 2018 and it's brutally frustrating waiting for people to move to it.
It's a really stable platform, and the various instance communities are pretty great.
But I have no fuckin clue why it's not growing in adoption by Internet Normans.
Although, after the rate limiting issue, a whole shitload of people have signed up, so it's promising.
Normies hate that Linuxy feel. I'm not hugely fond of the bare metal feel of federated social networks myself, and I've been doing the computer thing for... uh, when was the VIC-20 released again? Don't underestimate the persuasive power of a friendly interface.
I dunno, between elk.zone or trunks.social, I don't find the interface all that bad.
