My n=1 experience has been far better using Mastodon than twitter. I used to check the Twitter Explore page without logging in, just see what was going down. But now that they've 'bodged' that up too, they've released me from any reason to go back. Thank you, Elon. It's a relief to encounter generally "real" and/or "interesting" people (who are the kind of people to persist on Mastodon) instead of political mudslingers, blue check twitter maximalists, Elon d riders, etc. Just a better experience all around. Mastodon feels a bit like the old bulletin boards used to feel like - "just over there dealing with its own niche in a calm and kind of fun way ... not the centre of the universe or trying to be this or that...". And I'm thankful for it.
