An analysis of why Mastodon failed to capitalize on the Twitter migration according to a former Mastodon admin. These all match my experience

1. Features competitive to Twitter of 2008 when we’re in 2023
2. Users don’t care about decentralization
3. Decentralization makes the user experience worse
4. Its decision makers consider its usability flaws to be features not bugs.
5. It’s culture is exclusionary

@carnage4life@mas.to "Decentralisation is not a selling point for 99% of people." Ouch. That cuts deep, man. #fediverse #activitypub #twittermigration

Left panel shows Ben Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson drafting the Declaration of Independence with subtitle, "How I see myself when talking about the Fediverse." Right panel shows the conspiracy meme guy with the subtitle, "How others see me."
