I tried mastodon once for a while, and aside from finding an instance filled with totally garbage people, it was OK. I didn't love the UI, or how federation worked or anything really. For its chosen mechanics, it had good polish. The people that love it, love it not for its ease of use. But because it's OK for being decentralized and you can (more or less) have one pane of glass for your tech news, social media, and barking mad conspiracy forums filled with crazy people, degenerates and war criminals. If anyone thinks this sounds like an endorsement, don't talk to me ever.
