I mean old, un-Musked Twitter was what people wanted. Mastodon is similar, and I like it but it's not Twitter (which personally I couldn't get into even in its heyday).
The way Mastodon is broken up into little communities such that it's hard for anything to go viral and you can't easily search for everything being said about a topic kills a lot of the value of old-twitter. Comes from Mastodon having been created as a twitter alternative with a different philosophy back in the old twitter days, while bluesky is more a reaction to Musk twitter used by people who didn't have a problem with the old version.
