I think it heavily depends on your personality traits.

So first thing I would do is to take one Big Five personality traits - maybe this one, ranking high on google search? bigfive-test.com/

For background, check out Wikipedia

The Big Five personality traits is a suggested taxonomy, or grouping, for personality traits, developed from the 1980s onward in psychological trait theory.

For example among the Big Five, I'm big on introversion (solitary/reserved) and neuroticism (sensitive/nervous), so while I'm sure that Mastodon has advantages over Twitter, it wouldn't still be good for me.

A big thing is that I like long form arguments. Like a whole paragraph. Maybe more than one. Sometimes I even read books, can you imagine?

It's quite funny to me that people points to the use of screenshots and Threads as a proof of Twitter creativity.

For me those are obvious symptoms of the limitations of the platform.
