This just changes the arbitrariness from Twitter to someone else. The Mastodon admin having power is not decentralization, the user having it is. Might as well stick with Twitter, at least you can create a ruckus. Given new solutions are developed to address the issues of centralization it gives one pause if basic issues around censoring, silencing and dis-empowering individuals has not been thought about. Then Mastodon or anything else is pretending to be a solution but is actually just another actor cynically using 'decentralization' to jockey for influence and not really addressing the core issues of twitter. And using Ruby which is known for not being user friendly for setup and installation is counterproductive to any goal of decentralization.
