Personally, I find the UX on Mastodon is strictly superior to Twitter. The UI is more responsive, you have Tweetdeck style columns that let you track lists on the same page, you can mark content as sensitive, collapse long posts, and automatically caption images. I find all of these things are big quality of life improvements for me.

I also really like the fact that you can turn off notifications for likes and boosts. I only care about replies, and this lets me avoid the noise in my notifications.

Finally, another big UX feature is that you can follow people on other platforms that support ActivityPub. For example, I follow a few photographers on Pixelfed, and some streams on Lemmy in my feed.
