In the mean time Mastodon will be filled by people who know enough to be able to post and know that they can't shitpost.
Today, my Mastodon timelines were mostly filled by Corey Doctorow, who refuses to mark the subsequent posts in his threads as unlisted. "If you don't like the way I post here, read my blog." So that was an unfollow.

Yeah, Mastodon is roughly where email used to be prior to Hotmail.
Someone is going to come along and make something that makes Mastodon much easier, and they'll need to do it commercially (through a charge or through advertising) in order to have the resources to keep their server clean enough that it doesn't get blocked by others.
In the mean time Mastodon will be filled by people who know enough to be able to post and know that they can't shitpost. I'm struggling to see the downside here.
