Mastodon is ass. Instead of having social media corporations deciding what you can say, it’s some random neckbeard who threw together a server. And your account does not transfer if the admin decides he doesn’t like you. Hissy fits over defederation are already tearing apart a lot of good instances. Half of mastodon is just circlejerking about how much better it is than twitter anyways.
My tip would be to try finding German instances. Generally, Germans do this fediverse stuff right, they use it for everyday chill stuff in contrast to Americans who just want to discuss politics and gender all day long.

Swap mastodon for lemmy and Twitter for reddit and it’s the same comment.
Then stand up your own server and govern it as you please.
I don’t want to run servers to participate in social media.
This is exactly how Lemmy works, yet you’re here…
