Saved you a click: Mastodon has no influencers commercializing their "influence". And the author thinks that bad and all.
I think nobody expects Mastodon to replace twitter in every regard, and the author just complaining about not having reach there, or something. Mastodon has no incentives for merely getting popular on the network, and I think users enjoy that very much.
Personally, I don't like the lack of relevance filtering, but that applies to twitter too. For me it's no a place to "have a discussion", but it's weird to assume that anyway and multi tweet threads on Twitter are ridiculous IMO. The reddit-style ActivityPub networks are meant for discussions.
