I need to be playing Canned Heat - On The Road Again.

Chilling in my hotel room in #Guildford watching the #NFL whilst learning some more about #Mastadon and hacking on my latest project

@kelseyhightower @wimpy said the same https://qoto.org/web/statuses/109376004612813429

@kelseyhightower nothing. You can verify yourself against a website though which is the Mastadon equivalent

@Jrz813 apparantly then its Lemmy you're after next ;)

@kelseyhightower https://bitcoinhackers.org/@mastodonusercount/109378378833035843 Friday what crazy, but the signups have continued at the same 3000 per hour rate through the weekend

@holly@mstdn.io the admin basically just let you Toot the length of the database field, so 65535 technically :) Also stuff like Markdown, Latex typesetting and things, bascially each admin can make their own decisions, which adds to the variety :)

You can also do stuff like, change your theme, and stuff in preferences, you'll find it pretty flexible, I believe.

Also with the mobile apps, shop around Android has Tusky which seems to be the best, iOS have a few different versions as well.

@holly@mstdn.io Try not to compare it to twitter and you'll probably find it a better onboarding experience.

I find, generally, the interactions are more and better with far fewer followers, in part due to the lack of quote tweets, and lack of ML based algo to push things down your throat.

Also, bear in mind, every server host is different, in terms of features, customisations and what they offer, so your features may not match my features, but the same goes for me because I can write a 65k character Toot and I bet you can't! ;)
