For me it's search.
I loved search (and search operators) on Twitter. Used it heavily to curate my twitter lists, to only get tweets pertaining to topics I was interested in.
When many tech folks began moving to Mastodon, I also decided to kick the tires to see what all the buzz is about. But I got tired of sifting through unrelated toots from people to find technically relevant ones.
Now, I know proper search support will never be added to Mastodon, so I don't plan to use it. I understand their reasons for it, but it's not for me.
Thankfully twitter for other topics I am interested in seems largely untouched.
