We tried. They ignore the vast majority of feedback given to them.
The Mastodon user experience really needed to be simplified greatly to attract Twitter users, because what’s a platform without other users on it to connect to? At this point I feel as if they may have blown their chance.
Cuz believe it or not, people tend to use microblogging platforms to connect with others in a specific niche, and mastodon currently doesnt have the userbase to host an account focused on most niches.
How to we ‘get there’, to a point where the userbase is to a volume/ size that it fulfills this requirement? I think musc is helping our cause enormously by being a fascistic a-hole. But hey, we can’t rely on him for everything.
Here we are on the Fediverse. And Mastodon exists. Why, therefore would we BLuEsKy?
The Bluesky user experience is lightyears ahead of Mastodon.
Cool, how do we convinced the Masto devs of this apparent fact?

anything specific you can call out for those of us who have zero interest in moving to another centralized platform?

I don’t know.
I use microblogging platforms to connect with people who have my disability, which includes lots of cognitive problems.
So the current customisation and exploration effort it takes to set up a working mastodon account is too much for most people with my illness.
An optional algorithm would help.
Neither does Bluesky.
For mine and a lot of niches there is :).
