I mean old, un-Musked Twitter was what people wanted. Mastodon is similar, and I like it but it's not Twitter (which personally I couldn't get into even in its heyday).
And that's honestly a good thing. We don't need Twitter clones, because as much as people remember the Twitter of yore fondly, the people in charge made some really terrible decisions for their users, and a lot of people have forgotten that.
Mastodon is and should always be distinct from the Twitter-likes; if it starts to be a little too similar, then it's probably lost its way.
