And that's why all social media is bad.

Look, open socials can either replace closed socials or be a niche little fun exclusive club for techheads exclusively focused on Star Trek and Linux and how open socials should replace closed socials. You can't have both.

So if the conclusion here is that popular social media sucks... yeah, you're right. Because all social media sucks. The content won't be better if the same people join Mastodon than if they come from Threads.
