After using Mastadon for a little over 3 months now I am more sure than ever that it will not and can not replace Twitter. Specifically for your every day, normal non techie user. The decentralised model just isn't user friendly enough. It's confusing and too circle jerky. It's difficult to find someone, hell even just selecting a server to host your account is a pain. It's definitely not a Twitter killer.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

And the problem is its mostly fixable, its just bone headed design decisions. Like limiting search, not showing the tweet replied to in the timeline, not backfilling external accounts and so on and so fourth.
