the backlash to twitter (to the extent that it exists) is mostly ideological. Mastodon is not ideological in general. individual instances are, but they can't scale to the size that the ideologues want them to. So i m afraid they are going to have to wait for the next centralized forum to be deployed.
There are elements of ideology, but I think a lot of us just see the writing on the wall in that twitter now needs to squeeze more profit out of its userbase (to pay the interest on the debt from the LBO) and is likely to change in big ways.
To the extent that it’s ideological, the ideology is that many small instances are better than one big one so that a billionaire can’t destroy it in a flash.
maybe the people who tweet will care about it, but most people dont tweet, they read. Unfortunately mastodon servers tend to block each other on ideological grounds, which defeats the purpose of having a single identity.
