If you join a instance Mastodon sucks. If you run your own instance Mastodon rocks.

If they made it easier to run your own instance meaning 99% of people ran their own instance then we wouldn't need to join people's instance.

Unfortunately it's very difficult setting up your own instance so people go join other instances.

I joined 2 and got banned within 2 days.

I want to start my own instance but it's f-en hard to get it going and requires me to buy a server.

They should make it how you can run your own instance by using your phone and only you can join your own instance. That's would solve all the problems.

Mastadon is just an instance on the Fediverse. It's an instance run by a power-tripping little bitch, but it's just one instance.

It unfortunately has good branding and has gotten people (mostly normies) to call most of Fedi "Mastodon", which is incorrect. That'd be like saying the site with the little blue bird that Elon bought last year is called Nitter because someone posted a Nitter link to a post there.
