I just tried out Mastodon quickly after reading this, and what a disaster. Icons are overused, there's no onboarding of the UI and it just throws you in with a bunch of icons, I wasn't sure what most of them did. I started at mastodon.technology and it immediately follows the instance creator which confused me, when I checked his profile there was an icon with which I could unfollow(an X on top of a person icon), which I didn't know if it meant blocking or unfollowing. No icon has helper text on hover or anything, you're just thrown in and there's already messages popping in your timeline and I didn't really know that I already followed these people, and I could click Local/Federated timeline and there wasn't much info on what those were.
