Interesting to see people encountering the benefits and downsides of Mastodon in real time. Federation is a huuuuuge advance over resting control with a single billionaire Jack or Zuck - but comes with usability and privacy tradeoffs. Some of these issues are discussed in this recent EFF post about data portability and social media: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/07/facing-facebook-data-portability-and-interoperability-are-anti-monopoly-medicine
I think Mastodon will be a success for me either way. If it starts to replace Twitter, great. If it stays quiet, it will be like reading a Teju Cole novel: nothing much happens and it is very peaceful.
