Is Mastodon worth joining?
I've heard a few creators talk about it, but does it seem like it's got a good chance against even a Musk-tainted Twitter?

Only time will tell
A good chance of what, though, is the question. I find Mastodon more relevant than Birdsite (as they call it) but that ain’t a high bar. It takes some effort, so I doubt it will ever be wildly popular. But maybe it will be popular enough among those I care to hear.
The Fediverse
The great thing about the fediverse (which Mastodon is part of) is that you can interact with many services interchangeably.
Mastodon, Friendica, GNUSocial and more, can all talk to each other. Right around the first of the year I launched a Friendica node called NextPayge Social (NextPayge.Social) where I follow Erin’s Mastodon account :)
While no fediverse node, or even fediverse sub-service has the same clout as Twitter right now, there is a growing movement to move away from algorithmic social media, and while it may never be “mainstream” I can say it’s nice to see what I want, and not what a service wants me to see.
