My main problem with Mastodon is it's such a tiresome monoculture of opinion. So many people with the pretty much the same politics, biases, grievances as everyone else. Any server that dissents too much from this gets a fediverse block.
The whole thing is just so tedious. I don't know about the rest of you, but I enjoy reading opinions from people I have nothing in common with in terms of world view, and whom I vehemently disagree with.
On Twitter, you get that easily. On Mastodon, meh. Same old shit repeated everywhere. Boring and sanctimonious.

- tdeck 4y agoI'm not saying it's easy but you could probably run your own instance and subscribe to multiple different servers that have the diversity you're looking for.
- hoppoy 4y agoThat's interesting, is it possible to subscribe to servers secretly so other servers don't know you've done so? Otherwise, I imagine my own hypothetical instance would get swiftly blocked.
