I think that's a good point. I know that people are confused. They don't know how to join and how the whole Mastodon universe works. They need clarity and guidance and most aren't willing to educate themselves on Mastodon. They want Medium to guide them. So I see your point. I have 3 followers on Mastodon and once replied to a fellow Medium writer but that's it. I see the impact of Mastodon from a business and marketing standpoint...but with Musk planning to pay writers on Twitter... Well... It's a totally different game
