I think that #nostr get a lot of things right, that mastoston doesn't.
First of all the problem of mastodon is that it feels "empty". If you join a big instance you might get more visibility, but then the problem is that:
- your data is on just one server, if it shuts down you can forget your data and network of people
- the server might not be always available or reliable
- your content might not be visible to some users who have their account on smaller instances.
Basically the ActivityPub protocol doesn't offer the features of modern social networks. It offer more features than a pure blogging platform, but not as much as a social network.
Moreover mastodon is not really decentralized, as much as it is federated. Unless you run your own server, you are very much dependent on whoever runs your mastodon instance. In a way it's even worse than with commercial social networks, because that person could decide to shut down the server just "because" since they are not motivated by profit.
