Because it’s set up as a not-for-profit, it can’t expect a huge flurry of venture capital cash, and donations only get you so far. Mastodon has an engineering staff of less than ten. Until last Friday, Twitter had 7,500 staff – thousands of them engineers. These are all good things in principle, but they could cause practical problems.

The project is commendable – unlike most tech start-ups, it is a not-for-profit, it is open source (meaning anyone can see the code, and people can contribute to it) and it is free to set up a Mastodon server. The other question is whether Mastodon is ready for primetime. It is unlikely to get the same kind of mass adoption as Twitter did – and Twitter itself stayed much smaller than its rival social networks, in turn.
It is its own entity and one that is by design a lot more complex and confusing for users than Twitter, or even early-era Twitter, which was much fiddlier to use and less reliable than the service today. But it’s important to have realistic expectations. It is understandable that some Twitter users are balking at the implications of the Musk era and searching for an alternative. Conversations tend to be more on-topic and more civilised – “like early-era Twitter” is a common refrain – but there is, of course, no guarantee that this will last if Mastodon catches on. Server admins tend to err on the side of banning and defederating, and flagging sensitive content is a must. Mastodon is generally a calmer and more restrictive place than Twitter, even pre-Musk. This could clearly lead to some uncomfortable situations. If two users are DMing and mention the handle of a third, that person is added to the conversation. There are other instances of strange behaviours that would startle Twitter users. Most people on Twitter would, I am fairly confident, be quite shocked by this. In the case of DMs across servers, both sets of admins would be able to see them. The admins of your server are also able, should they wish, to see the direct messages of people on their server.
