People comparing Twitter and Mastodon as though they’re equivalent. They’re not - Mastodon has Twitter-like properties but the core “network” model (centralized vs federated) of the two makes them distinct beasts. That’s not people’s fault to make the comparison. Mastodon and the larger community does little to disambiguate this and make it clear. (I say this as someone that’s used both Twitter and mastodon for years. They’re just different, period.)
