The only true client is the browser.

Microblogging be damned.

7) In the aggregate, #Mastodon / #fediverse are simply unintuitive.
Add up all of the design missteps or confusions (which happen), mixed and confusing but often strongly felt cultural standards, lacking or hard-to-find documentation or explanations, and, federation strangeness/quirkiness … and you get a platform that crosses past the reasonably intuitive line.
It’s reparable, but probably not easily so.
Have you ever used Facebook? That is unintuitive. Twitter as well, most of the big platforms are.
