You asked for it, and it’s coming. Quote posts, search, and groups are on their way. In the meantime, check out the new onboarding experience launching today. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/05/a-new-onboarding-experience-on-mastodon/
A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

Today we’re making signing up on Mastodon easier than ever before. We understand that deciding which Mastodon service provider to kick off your experience with can be confusing. We know this is a completely new concept for many people, since traditionally the platform and the service provider are one and the same. This choice is what makes Mastodon different from existing social networks, but it also presents a unique onboarding challenge. To make this step easier, we now have a default sign-up option that works with a server we operate. If you wish to leave or join a different server, you can do so at any time.

Musk has decided he's the victim of his own mismanagement of Twitter.

No one asked or forced Musk to buy Twitter.

Before April, it was a public company and in no risk of bankruptcy.

It wasn't very profitable but it was fine.

He decided that he should buy it.

Musk bans linking to Twitter’s competitors. If you link to them, that content will be removed.

He loves free speech.
