The really really frustrating part is that a good alternative existed. It was know as Google+, allowed people to post under different topics from the same account and also create multiple pseudonyms that one could easily switch between. Besides, for some reason the most annoying people from Twitter and Facebook never "got it" so it was mostly just photographers, electronic enthusiasts, Linux people and gardeners (at least that was my bubble). Edit: also frustrating: for some reason the focus of Mastodon and ActivityPub seems to be on Twitter-style interactions, at least that was my impression last I checked.
