It's mostly better than twitter, in that it actually functions reasonably well, and it's obviously considerably worse than Mastodon (especially compared to the Ivory app)

  • The biggest downside is the timeline seems to show a mixture of accounts you follow and other accounts, seemingly suggested accounts that it thinks you might want to follow. I can't see any way to only see posts from accounts you follow.
  • The timeline isn't chronological and I can't see a way to make it chronological
  • You can't edit posts

Their competition is with Twitter. They are not competing with Mastodon (atleast for now).
