how about you try again and see? i went through this with another person like a year ago and it's absolutely fine, it's basically identical to bluesky.
It would be a bit quiet if I joined. None of the content creators I care about are on the platform. All that seems to be on there are a bunch of programmer types, which is fine if that's what you're interested in, but if you're not it's basically dead.
Which was my point. Mastodon's user experience resulted in basically no one other than tech nerds subscribing, this subsequently meant that no one else even tried because they would have to wade through a quagmire of poor UI only to join a platform with no one on it.
there are plenty of non-tech nerds on mastodon, if you actually look for them and don't just dismiss the platform
