I use it (almost) daily and really like it. The biggest challenge coming from Twitter to Mastodon is that your feed is quite empty and you have to actively curate who you follow over some time – no algorithm.
Since this was one of the main attractions for me, that was not a problem. Although I have far fewer followers on Mastodon than Twitter, I always get a much better discussion and engagement on Mastodon.
Twitters algorithm seems to "kill" most of my tweets (by not showing them to my followers), except for a few where I write about a specific topic that interests me, where I suddenly get a lot of reach. But mostly likes and retweets, not many reactions or any interesting discussions. I find this really discouraging in the long run. Mastodon just feels much more human and community-like, akin to how the good old forums felt.
