To me it's like the difference between living in an anonymous big city where I can do whatever I want without too many people yelling at me, and having to pick some village where everybody knows everybody and forces their rules on them. I would never choose the latter just by my own nature, so Mastodon will never be an alternative to twitter for me. Looking at that endless list of specialized echo chambers of some people with their own sub rules just makes me shudder immediately.
