Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, Cohost, and in some cases even Reddit are great ideas while their communities are still small, but once they get too big, they either run out of money, or live long enough to resort to depressing news, drama, and porn to keep their users hooked (usually with little to no control over what shows up in their feeds.) There is a nonzero chance of suddenly opening porn in your Twitter feed while out in public because someone you follow decided to like a horny tweet on their main account, and you cannot turn off liked tweets from showing up in your feed. Ask me how I know.
Mastodon??? Fucking Mastodon?????????????
