Get off your high horse. I work for a software company, regularly participate in beta testing and am very tech literate. Mastodon was agitating to use when I signed up and not intuitive. The community I signed up in also deleted my account during a “whoopsie”. A terrible experience drove me off with no desire to go back for such a tiny and relatively stagnate user base on an unstable platform. If that was my experience, the average person will absolutely not like Mastodon.
Your complaint is about an unknown instance admin committing a maintenance mistake. Will bluesky’s promised federation protect against that? You could join an instance managed by a well funded public entity if you want something that gets close to VC-funding. (which aren’t that reliable either. Look how many of these start-up platforms go away)
