It's a very long post, but a lot of it is a detailed discussion of terminology in the appendix -- no need to read that unless you're into definitional struggles.

allow lists run by individual instances..not a gatekeeping board of a single entity.

my points stand. if you want to join a true federating twitter clone youre not using the atprotocol.

For people who want to join a twitter clone there aren't any good ActivityPub options -- Mastodon's good at other things, but isn't a good Twitter alternative let along clone. And ActivityPub's version of "true federation" isn't the only kind of federation. That said, I agree that AT isn't an option for people who want to join a federating-in-theActivityPub-sense-of-the-word Twitter clone,

In what way is mastodon a bad twitter alternative?

I love Mastodon, but I never actually used twitter much so I don't have much of a sense for why Mastodon might not be comparable
