Occasionally I'm annoyed at or disappointed by Mastodon. Then I remember that some of the principle alternatives are:

1. A site run under the de facto control of a government involved in widespread repression and ethnic cleansing,
2. A site run by a guy increasingly promoting views aligned with genocidal ideologies, and
3. sites run by an organization implicated in facilitating an actual genocide.

With that perspective, the comparative issues of Mastodon seem pretty manageable.
