I’ve made plenty of attempts to “get into” Mastodon and can confidently say that’s a miserable experience across the board if you aren’t willing to do the work to curate your feed.

I honestly feel like this is applicable to any social media, federated or not, and could arguably even be extended to socializing in general, in terms of choosing one's friends wisely. Technological or otherwise, navigating society is neither easy nor smooth sailing.

Although this is by no means to dismiss your experience, only to chip in with my own across different social media and otherwise. Finding one's place among others, curating/filtering one's connections, has always felt like a struggle to me no matter where I've found myself.
