One big problem IIRC (haven't touched it for a year or two):
I'm all in favor of being able to block users or instances.
But many Mastodon instances have a policy of blocking other instances if they don't block certain other instances.
When I realized this it was one of a number of reasons why I just gave it up.
I'm currently hoping that nostr and element/matrix takes off, but in the meanwhile I agree with whoever commented somewhere onnthe Internet the other day that Telegram is a DIY social network.
