everything you just mentioned is as bad as or 100x worse on nostr

> reply and like counts where always wrong

10000x worse on nostr are you kidding me? There isn't even a canonical version of a thread to know if the count is correct.

> threads never loaded completely

same, except you'd never even know on nostr.

> everything was slow as hell

Maybe *only* 100x worse on nostr

> DMs suck

Nostr DMs weaken the security of your key dude

> no search

Factually incorrect, even in 2017.

Allow me to introduce you to non-human-readable pubkeys for identifiers

That's wrong, there literally is an "interact on my home server" button. But that's an admittedly clunky UX.

And in closing, mastodon is not the only fediverse server software. Pleroma is what I recommend, with the soapbox frontend. I genuinely have no idea what instance you used, or when, my only conclusion is it was misconfigured. Even in 2017 mastodon's UX was far better.
