I found that the Pleroma instance I ran hit all the classic points these angry nerds loved: 1. What *they* say gets plastered on *my* timeline. 2. Difficulty in setting up so you can be special. 3. No centralized control (except their mastodon server). 4. Blocking barely works.
I think once twitter started making it easy to mute whole threads and block people you saw these same kind of Forced Debaters (y'a know, the dude who's insisting he's debating you without inviting you to debate) run to Mastodon where they can spew into your TL with no blocking.
The advantage of this though, and why I'm so thankful for Mastodon to exist, is now these people can just do this to their self in their own worlds, and are uninterested in Twitter. My twitter has been fantastic this last year, and I see other people say the same. That's why.
Finally, I've found instagram to be way better as a social sharing system, and probably for this same reason. These angry nerds just seem to be uninterested in it as a platform because it doesn't allow them to shove their junk in your face. IG is anti-tech-bro in so many ways.
