I'm reminded that Sarah Jeong wrote a puff-piece on Masto a while back:
She quit in less than a year, and went back to Birdsite where she remains to this day.
This is because Birdsite resolved all it's cultural problems to her satisfaction. It has only improved since 2018.
No, you stop smirking.
I notice there's a parallel with a lot of open source things when it comes to the Fedi. You have to learn to deal with the shortcomings, because the strengths are often very, very good. But you have to dog food it. Use it constantly, don't be distracted by the convenience of proprietary solutions. Learn the other ways.
