For the record...
1. #Fediverse is much more than #Mastodon®
2. The de facto monopoly of #Mastodon is unhealthy for its users and for the whole network. (check: 3E strategy)
3. Other platforms and applications exist, and they offer various features and various experience, suitable for various minds.
4. Mastodon is best suited for a mind moulded into Twitter way of thinking. You may wish to stay this way until you die, but you can easily change it now.
Just #JoinFediverse!
