    As someone who would have preferred Mastodon become the more popular service, I completely agree.

    Look at mastodon.social and bluesky.app without logging in. Which site seems more interesting to the general public?

    Now make an account. If you don’t have a bunch of specific people you want to follow, which has the better new user experience for the general public?

    Mastodon looks like it was made by nerds, for nerds, and is populated exclusively by nerds. It’s not nearly as welcoming.

      Life long nerd and CS grad. Mastodon ain’t it.
