I've actually been reasonably pleased with Mastodon. It's got its rough edges for sure, but it's weathered the Twitter expatriation storm better than expected, and lots of folks I follow are mirroring their content there. The Fedifinder tool (fedifinder.glitch.me) is a really quite painless way to update my follow list as people move over.
I don't know whether or not Twitter is going to be "replaced" any time soon, but right now this does have sort of the feel of a Digg moment to me.

Do you see a warning label or not? I don't.
Comment below if you see or not.
Update: the difference seems to be logged out or not.
If I'm logged in, I don't see the flag. I see it when not logged in.
Here you can use this to build your own Twitter, complete with video broadcasts peer to peer: https://github.com/Qbix/Platform

and additional examples.
TBH, I believe that bot activity regulation and censorship of people are two distinct issues. Still, the search-shadowbanning of @ElonJet is quite inappropriate.
