it's quite different in the sense that you don't see any recommended content, just your follows and their boosts.

    That's because its not harvesting your data in order to pull more engagement for ad revenue.

    The ad revenue part is true but what do you mean by not harvesting data? Mastodon definitely stores your boosts and likes, it just doesn't use that data to recommend more content. And the big difference is of course that it is stored on your instance's server, not a centralized location.
