Not one occurance.
The fediverse is in first reading a protocol, which connects all the different services.
And yes, it's work in progress.
If you are looking for one polished interface... living in front of one service owned by one billionaire... you are wrong in fediverse.
But... if you never tried the other services from this network, if you ignore it constantly and only look on mastodon... write about mastodon... a service, that ignores standards from the fediverse... (i call mastodon "the microsoft of the fediverse") then you don't know the network and it's magic.
Yes, there can be some kind of polishing in thf protocol, on some of the services, some UI/UX... but it is free from surveillance-capitalistic billionaire-owned companies, which only try to show you MORE ADVERTISINGS.
