mastodon.social does not represent the majority of users.
Any stability issues on mastodon.social are noteworthy, but it's important to recognize that it only represents 1,370,000/9,930,000 = 13% of total users, and 387,000/1,790,000 = 21% of Monthly active users.
If you don't use Mastodon, it might be easy to assume that the experience would be filled with blackouts or technical issues, but that's not true. If "picking a good server" sounds difficult, check out Mastodon's server page, and hopefully you should find one that fits your interest [3].

- kaba0 3y agoThat’s a very sizable percentage of all of its users, so it’s a bit like saying that apple is technically not a majority, so it not being good at X is not a big deal. Don’t get me wrong, I say that as someone who likes Mastodon and many of its ideas. My only gripe is a lack of focus on privacy - the fediverse makes everything overly public.
