I like Mastodon but I'm scared it might become a de facto standard, basically the IE6 of the fediverse. there's plenty of opportunities to learn from the "mistakes" of Mastodon but the longer it remains the only usable experience, the more entrenched it becomes and the more all new projects will have to make concessions to maintain compatibility.
if i ever did go ahead with making my own alternative to mastodon, then i think i'd focus on making it MUCH easier to run and manage... but i'm all talk tho. i haven't got the time or energy to do it or to teach myself enough to be able to pursue it. :/
