I often read that Mastodon is too complicated for “normal” people. I’m curious: How tech savvy do you consider yourself to be?

I’d especially love to hear from #1 people.

My list of upcoming Mastodon improvements: https://2ality.com/2024/11/mastodon-weaknesses.html

 Boosts appreciated, to get as varied a sample as possible!

UPDATE: So much great feedback. Thanks everyone!

Mastodon’s weaknesses and how to fix them

As a web developer, I love Mastodon: Since Twitter became X, there are enough web dev people here. I’m happy with the web app – it even has several nice touches where it is better than Twitter. I’m not locked into an ecosystem that is controlled by a single company. That being said, Mastodon still has several major weaknesses. In this blog post, I collect those and explain what’s being done to fix them. It is not meant to be exhaustive: If there is a weakness that affects you and isn’t mentioned here, then please let us know in the comments.
