I've never really been that interested in Twitter so I have kind of ignored Mastodon, is it just open source Twitter or is there any meaningful improvements?
The differences are mostly around consent. Eg. You cant quotetweet without the author setting a flag to allow it
it's basically twitter.
I will say, the cool thing about it is the interoperability between ActivityPub platforms. For example, from my mastodon account, since I'm subscribed to some hashtags I'm interested in, I occasionally see posts from Lemmy/Piefed (reddit-like), Pixelfed (Instagram-like), Loops (Tiktok-like), etc. I can comment and like without having to create accounts on the other platforms. It's definitely more aligned with what the open web should look like, although could use some UX and discoverability improvements, as I'm not entirely sure how some stuff works, but it's been interesting to try it out.
