@trinsec That's good point. But please don’t compare twitter with mastodon. Mastodon/Fediverse is unique & different than other social/micro blog. There are so many mastodon instance that have 10k+ character like tildi.zone, infosec.exchange etc. Why you choose qoto.org? 🤔
@em Well you asked why I joined mastodon (or rather, the Fediverse), and not doing a comparison would be difficult if that was one of the major reasons to join.
I didn't join qoto.org at first. I joined mastodon.social first, but I decided that 500 characters wasn't quite nice enough.
Then I joined mastodon.host which had 2000 characters (later 4000), but it crashed very hard after 2 years and couldn't be recovered.
So I had to search for a new server, but I didn't want 500 characters. At least 2000 would be nice. Qoto.org was one of those with more than 2000 characters and the theme was fine to me and I liked the extra features.
So, I chose qoto.org.
@em Why did _you_ join?
If you're the one going to ask questions, you also should be the first to answer them. 😋
@trinsec At first I was join 2019 on mastodon.social. But for 500 character I also switch another instance "bongo.social" run by some asian guys but lack of maintenance cost they closed it. Then return to

Actually I search such instance that have

2. Known instance all fediverse
3. Different features
4. Almost all active & share their thoughts.
@trinsec Actually I'm searching a quiet place.
@em I joined Mastodon like 4-5 years ago. I wanted something better than Twitter and not be limited to 200 characters.
65k characters is a lot better. ;)
