These blog posts kinda follow a pattern, huh? 1. User makes an account on Mastodon as a replacement for Twitter, after Twitter randomly bans people without recourse. 2. User aggravates the administration of their instance usually (but not always) to test the limits of their free speech. 3. User gets banned, leading to a tell-all blog post exposing the corruption of Mastodon and the benefits of centralization. (bonus points for identifying moderation as an issue) It's been said many times, and I hope I don't have to repeat it going forwards, but nobody owes you "old Twitter". There is no alt-platform where Twitter recuperates and blossoms into a resilient, open community, as demonstrated over the past 3-5 months. It's like seeking a YouTube replacement, where people will give you 100 reasons they won't use it, but the only one that matters is "I miss the free exposure". So sure, enter Mastodon at your own risk. There are thousands of apathetic users who won't feel even slightly beholden to make the platform more Twitter-like.
