I don't think trying to popularize a platform like Mastodon is good either, it just worsens masto and makes it so nobody really wins. People just need to become less addicted to social media. I knew people who genuinely had 14h on Twitter per day (not an exaggeration.) People like that will get politically swayed just by seeing the same anti-trump or pro-trump stuff no matter what platform they're on. Also things like Masto certainly won't scale well with the public, at least theoretically
