> Twitter preserves content. Yes, I know it's currently debatable, but in general it does. On Mastodon, any instance can go the way of the dodo, and this regularly happens. it's super debatable. i take it most of your Twitter experience is through the website/app, rather than following links posted in chats/elsewhere. i run a Pleroma server. anything from anyone i follow by default gets replicated locally. if/when those servers go offline, accounts get suspended, etc: the content is still viewable to me. > Mastodon has poor on-boarding. Twitter has poor on-boarding. post something as a new user? nobody will ever see it. on Mastodon? any instance < 1k users will have a decent chunk browsing the local timeline and you'll get a few interactions. and a lot of instance admins will "boost" first-time posters specifically to help them with onboarding. in general though, yes: growing any social circle takes time: in person, or online. there's no real way to speedrun that. > Lastly, and this is perhaps the most twisted point: Mastodon isn't designed for drama. at this point it's clear you're playing the "shoot down the new tech" angle, rather than honestly evaluating the two on equal footing.
