I'm honestly pretty hesitant about Mastodon for a number of reasons, because it seems to be hard to find instances where the particular community and moderation practices and general vibe align in such a way as for me to feel entirely comfortable. Twitter did, and technically still does, encompass a wide array of different subcultures which do not necessarily overlap save for being on one shared network, and as someone who drifts at the periphery of a lot of different, at times incompatible social circles, that actually has a really strong appeal for me, whereas Mastodon strikes me as more like a bunch of little, very different websites with the same core structure, which is harder to keep track of.
