Most importantly, Mastodon doesn't have the funding. It always astounds me how people miss that part.

Money lets you fix a lot of problems. Not all. But many.

Of course, it doesn't mean they'll succeed. Google+ had lots of money, too.

    Ugh, Google+ was so much better than Facebook. The whole circles concept was a game changer for social media that no one else has really adopted in a meaningful way. Half the reason millennials began to leave Facebook was not wanting their parents seeing what they're posting, so being able to decide which group can see a particular post was an awesome idea.

    Sadly it just never got the adoption

    That concept was actually pioneered by a Diaspora (where they were called "aspects"). The strange thing was that Google kept removing functionality from the circles and making them harder to use. I think towards the end they removed them entirely.
