I checked out Mastodon a few years ago but didn't even get far enough to make an account because everything I read about Mastodon seemed dumb as gently caress.

If I truly find a reason to leave twitter I will not look for a replacement. It'd be like trading a turd for an open source turd and at that point you might as well just not.

Mastodon and the rest of the "fediverse" (loving terrible name) stuff is neat and could potentially be implemented and managed in a really cool way that is a positive for the internet but its probably just gonna keep sucking.

Also all of the platforms are super anti-twitter integration because it would compromise their open source values and lol that's literally the only way its ever gonna happen. Like you say, people are on twitter because that's where it is. If you could get what you need from twitter without being as on twitter, that's a much easier sell. Then you get some big names moving over and at some point hey you actually have enough people on your poo poo that maybe you can pull the plug.

i think it is good for people to get pushed to more fun open source and safer alternatives even if the reason is dumb as poo poo

I found this from somebody writing some software about it https://dev.to/tanker/taking-mastodon-security-to-the-next-level-part-1-encrypt-your-toots-2p00

I guess the instance admin can query the database to see PMs and stuff like that, which is not great

no e2e encryption, there are some workarounds and its being 'looked at'. I don't know if you want to read a bunch of tech stuff and code by people who aren't writers but
https://blog.soykaf.com/post/encryption/ here's a dev from one of the alternate platforms (Pleroma specifically) talking about the issue
https://gist.github.com/Gargron/ef09c05cd81580b8b9f4597c458bee1b here's an example of somebody trying to implement it for themselves
https://dev.to/tanker/taking-mastodon-security-to-the-next-level-part-1-encrypt-your-toots-2p00 and another one but its from a dev using company's software at a company that since got acquired so who even knows.

the handful of genuinely funny vids ive seen crossposted from there still doesnt justify the widespread substitution other ppl’s Totally Epic tweets for making your own interesting or funny post and actually contributing to discussion imo.
