I understand that the "pick a server, it does not matters except it does" is a bit puzzling, but once that step is done Mastodon looks simple enough/close enough to Twitter no?

Is there some hidden complexity I'm missing?

@martinvanaken Agreed. It seems a little empty, but this place doesn't seem that complicated. And I am someone who is bad when it comes to figuring out tech/social media stuff most of the time.
