I do, though I haven't adopted it yet. At some point, a new protocol will get social media right, and free itself from walled gardens. I don't know if it will be Mastodon, but I'll keep looking with interest until it happens. Mastodon seems to get a bunch of things right, and it may evolve into a more-open (and messier) Face-gram-ter-+ that gets enough traction to thrive. People derive a lot of value from email. A protocol like this should be viewed as something like email.
