Well, that's not my experience so far. I actually created an account in 2017, which I'd forgotten about, but return a couple of weeks ago. What I'm seeing is an influx of non-techie users, in terms of writers, artists, musicians, scientists etc. There's also been quite a lot of traffic from lawyers about the the potential hazards of running an instance, which appear to be acceptable. I don't think Tooters are claiming Mastodon 'is superiour', except for culture, which is demonstrably true. It's a different thing, and I think that it can offer brands and advertisers some unique opportunities. This burst of mainstream publicity may encourage that.
