lol you’re all so dramatic and pretentious no wonder mastodon never took off. Threads will have more users than the entirety of Mastodon on ONE instance. They can stand entirely on their own and offer a superior content experience than a bunch of angry nerds yelling at the clouds. Mastodon is just a bunch of people mad at other platforms. That’s 90% of the content.
We're standing effectively at the beginning of the race for mass adoption of the federation concept and you're declaring mastodon a failure based on the content of the earliest adopters. Lemmy is also 90% reddit refugees and discussions about the reddit refugees if you're using "All" as your sole metric. Granted, reddit refugees were able to coordinate a mass migration that will probably be far more effective at creating lasting community with rich content at lemmy/kbin federated sites than twitter refugees, but it's a bit early to say mastodon "never took off."
