I asked around so-called influencers why they were not on #Mastodon . Here are the most common replies:

1) We can't go viral on Mastodon (read as we can't game the system because humans only boost good stuff)

2) They want a algo driven system (why do you want to see angry posts all day & night?)

3) You can't make money on Mastodon (WTF that even mean?)

4) It is way too technical & confusing. Which server to join? WTF is the server?

Only the last one is valid. The rest are all lazy reasons.
