I think it really depends on which instance you choose since it’s not my experience with Masto at all, either. I’ve been on .art since 2017, I think. It’s a super strict instance that heavily blocks users and instances for racism, transmisia etc (including silincing .social when they don’t get their shit together) and it’s been a very positive experience overall, I’ve met so many cool people.
Or even just people you follow. I made my own mastodon instance for my photography and follow photography related tags and such so that’s all it is from my point of view. I chose mastodon as that seemed to be the best way to federate to Lemmy and pixelfed from one account
I just what’s federated here. I couldn’t get any friends to switch to mastodon so I never really got into it. I’m not interested in following influencers and celebrities (outside of Ben Collins on bluesky)
I think this was specifically a mastodon dig - which I totally get. Feels like most of what I see from there is quite obnoxious.
I hate that reddit-style sites federate with twitter-style sites, too. I #don’t #want #to #see #a #million #fuckin #hashtags #in #the #title

Yeah, I love following hashtags, it’s such a good feature!
