For someone who doesn't use mastodon or twitter, what does this mean? Can you provide something descriptive about the two without referencing other sites (or at least not exclusively - and this isn't a criticism at you, almost everyone seems to be doing this!).
It's very confusing trying to understand what an article, a thread, a microblog, a magazine are, and what their use cases are, hence why they are all separated. I think if I understood the use case, I would understand the reason why, better.
