I think it's way too early to tell whether that's because they genuinely love it, or because they're trying out something new.

Clubhouse, for example, was all the rage for a few weeks. Then it has been barely heard from since. In part because it was easy for Twitter to copy its core idea, call it Twitter Spaces, and release it to a much larger user base. But also in part because it was, frankly, overhyped.

Definitely.

One of the things Twitter still has going for it, for now (but shrinking) is the "does (random celebrity) have an account here?" question. Mastodon is pretty bad at that, and probably always will be.
