Is the user experience on Mastodon any better than it used to be because it used to be utterly appalling which is why no one used it. Then of course the situation was exacerbated by the fact that because no one used Mastodon, no one else used Mastodon, because none of the people that everyone wanted to follow were on Mastodon.

    how about you try again and see? i went through this with another person like a year ago and it's absolutely fine, it's basically identical to bluesky.

    It would be a bit quiet if I joined. None of the content creators I care about are on the platform. All that seems to be on there are a bunch of programmer types, which is fine if that's what you're interested in, but if you're not it's basically dead.

    Which was my point. Mastodon's user experience resulted in basically no one other than tech nerds subscribing, this subsequently meant that no one else even tried because they would have to wade through a quagmire of poor UI only to join a platform with no one on it.

    For popular culture, it is a bit of a ghost town, but last I checked, many tech individuals/groups fled to Mastodon the moment Musk got his hands on Twitter. It is possible that they have moved on to BlueSky, but I have not been keeping track.
