If there is a large number of new users who use Mastodon as on-to-one Twitter replacement, it's not going to work because Mastodon does not support Twitter style communication well.
If you just start following people, there is no algorithm to learn preferences and sort junk out. you must just stop following people who post several times of day trivial personal matters, or invest more time to scrolling.
People who don't use #hastags don't get noticed easily.
mastodon: transfer control from a publicly answerable company to private citizens
how does this make sense? it might work at a small scale but how does it scale up? how is is legally held responsible? will this prevent hate promoters from creating their own private forums and when they do who will be held accountable?
it just seems that people are reacting to the CEO and not the platform. What if all the Twitter/Musk complainers & haters put their money together and took control and made it work their way? pffft ... ridiculous suggestion b/c their collective strength is complaining not _doing_.

Why is this a problem, or even difficult?
