There is plenty to criticize about Mastodon (the biggest being the centering of whiteness and white user's feelings and comfort), but I draw the line at demanding virality (which would require an algorithm). A thread was boosted by someone I follow that consisted mostly of insults towards anyone who would be stupid enough to use Mastodon (I paraphrase), and it included anger at the lack of virality. I think, for one, people addicted to algorithms overestimate the "effectiveness" of virality.
