@thegibson My first impression of Mastodon was that it was trying too hard to be like Twitter.
Then the furries sort of made it their own, and it was a different and joyful enough experience in early 2017 that I didn't make the connection with the me-too Twitter clone I'd dismissed a few months earlier.
Anyways it's 2024 now and I think Mastodon's trying too hard to be like Twitter.
