I use twitter and I really like the furry art community on there. I also like Mastodon or related ActivityPub services.

Due to recent events lots of people search for alternatives and I feel just very frustrated see all those artists looking for Zucks Threads or Jacks Bluesky when Mastodon is right there, without a chance of a twitter situation ever happening again. They seem to avoid Mastodon like cats avoiding water.
What have we done wrong, and how can we make it better.

A problem is that some of the early adopters of Mastodon were the worst people, that were banned from Twitter for hatespeech, thus giving it a bad name. Early on, Mastodon was known as "an alternative Twitter for nazis".

I never heard that about mastodon. Gab.ai was that.
