Don't see the appeal of it. If you value your privacy use Mastodon or else you use Threads that has 130M users and not 3M.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Mastodon has no privacy at all. Even if you host your own instance. People use Mastodon for freedom and to get away from manipulation by corporate social media.
That's not quite right. Mastodon does not have any privacy at all and it's not safe to treat it as privacy platform.
What makes Mastodon worth using is the federated model and lack of commercial engagement algorithms.
I think I'll just stick with Mastodon and Lemmy.
