Posts like these will always be influenced by the author's experience with specific tools, in addition to what languages they use (as I can imagine lesser-used languages/frameworks will have less training material, thus lower quality output), as well as the choice of LLM that powers it behind the scenes.
I think it is a 'your mileage may vary' situation.
It was the first question I had when looking into Mastodon, and a few minutes in I closed the tabs.
I don't want to choose a community, I want a single place/domain I rely on, I don't care if the backend is decentralised, I want the entry as a new user to be as low as possible, I need to understand the product in a few sentences.
They lost me as a potential user, I wonder how many more they lost. That entry barrier (just as with UX / registration forms) has to be as low as possible.
