Mastodon is the Linux of social media. The UX needs a little work but the momentum behind the project might help it overtake the other proprietary platforms.
While I can use Mastodon as is, I can't help myself from looking under the hood, and I'll be forever tempted to run my own server.

@kelseyhightower in classic linux fashion you know that other GUI tool that you could have installed would have solved a bunch of your issues. and if you are so much concerned fork it and get on with it. /s

On the side note, Run a server of your own if not mastodon there are a bunch of options : https://social.anantshri.info/@anant/statuses/01GHMANK84D49ZQ5BDZT26RYAC

Mastodon / Fediverse was designed to be “distributed” instead of focusing on loading one specific server people should seriously start looking at running smaller servers may be one person servers for themselves. Run your own mastodon instance https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run-your-own/ I
