I've always had the opinion that Twitter has been given far too much relevance. It's basically always been a way for "influencers" to, well, influence.
I find the 500 characters of Mastodon limiting at times. The 140 characters of original Twitter meant that you'd have to compress your statements down into single sentences, which loses nuance and encourages people spread soundbites that helps fuel the fire of what makes Twitter such a disaster.
