> Twitter is no longer part of their identity, now Mastodon is

And this is why so many people are put off. The Mastodon die-hards are ready to defend Mastodon from any perceived insults. So that when people have genuine questions or issues, it's like you're insulting the users themselves.

It doesn't help that Mastodon fans heavily evangelise the tech, as if anyone other than tech bros care.

"What do you mean there's no good content on Mastodon? You blah blah blah decentralised blah blah blah fediverse..."

So back to Twitter/Reddit/Facebook people go, where you can get your dopamine fix within about 2 seconds.
