Jezebel just posted an explainer on Mastodon.
Their conclusions:
1. Joining feels really confusing
2. Lets you tell Nazis to fuck off, en masse
3. It's mansplain central
4. It might not be the future
I don't have much more commentary to add -- I'm the wrong person to offer an opinion on this 🤷♂️
But this blog post exists, so there's that.

I don't doubt that Mastodon can be mansplain central.
@cwebber has said that a bunch of dudes have tried to mansplain ActivityPub to her.
And she's a co-author of ActivityPub.
In fact, 4 of the 5 co-authors are women!
@atomicpoet @cwebber Heck, all I know is #Mastodon is orders less toxic than the bird site for me and the more people of any gender here the better
@gwilymgj @atomicpoet @cwebber@octodon.social
Same here, the more we keep everything civilised the harder it will be for the bad actors to try and change things as they out numbered by those who don't want toxic posts.
