Some people don't want to hear this but Mastodon will never be mainstream without major changes. Even Mastodon users are all on other platforms. I'm not planning to go to Bluesky tho.

It also has the network problem now. BlueSky quickly got the numbers because it was easy at the right time. It was perfect for the Xodus. Mastodon missed that window. It can get easier and sexier, but it missed that window and will need another.

Mastodon has been going for almost ten years, it's proven reliabile but people preferred the more clearly twitter clone blusky by a big American company.
