So this is anecdote and not data, but I'm interacting a lot more with Quakers on Mastodon than I did on Twitter.

Honestly, I don't think services need to be dumbed down so much, people can figure it out. And having a little friction might be a good thing, unless the goal is just to rack up engagement numbers as high as they can be optimized - and arguably that incentive is one of the things that was really wrong with Twitter.
