Mastodon is working just fine.

The overall vibe and attitude of mastadon’s user base chases a lot of potential newcomers away. It’s not replacing Twitter any time soon.

Yeah, it is, tech wise.
But here’s the thing: Mastodon is not a viable alternative for most people right now because it’s missing the “normies”. Most people don’t even know what FOSS stands for and probably think it’s an STD, nuclear missile, or some form of coronavirus. Most of them are perfectly happy being on Twitter/Reddit/TikTok/FaceBook/Instagram. Without the masses, Mastodon cannot be a Twitter (or X, whatever you call it) replacement.
