Haven't touched Mastodon myself. "Decentralized" reads to me as "fragmented, dependent upon randoms to uphold the infrastructure, interoperable to a degree but you'd better hope your 'home' server doesn't go down for any myriad of reasons because then you'll lose your profile and have to make another at another server, which in effect pushes people towards the Big Players like Mastodon's own server, kind of defeating the whole point and making the main selling point a layer of unnecessary added complexity that makes the platform(s) substantively worse, harder to use, and less attractive to the average joe."Personally I've moved to Cohost. Not simping for them, but at least I can comprehend the business model and operation of the platform.
