myrmepropagandist Mastodon was designed as a Twitter replacement. In my opinion, it does *very* well in that capacity.
But Twitter was never designed for the kinds of social interactions that can be had on Livejournal or even Facebook, so Mastodon wasn't either. Friendica is designed as a Facebook replacement, with Facebook-like ways of interacting. If you add and change enough features on Mastodon, you could eventually get something better engineered for social relationships, but ultimately it's taking a tool intended for one thing and trying to turn it into a tool intended for something else.
