So, I just discovered the fediverse in general in the last couple days. Like any time I find something new to me and interesting, I dove in head first with an obsessive need to learn more. I was like Hermione in a new library.
Here are 2 things I wish were different tho. First I wish all the instances used the same software, namely whatever qoto is using. In my exploring I have tried out a few instances and this one by far seems the best to me for its customizeability with things like blocking entire domains (I personally think this is better than an instance blocking another instance) and the lovely huge character limits.
Second thing I wish was different is the toot button. Would it be so bad for it to just say "Send" instead of Toot? I get where it comes from, but I've seen some people take mastodon less seriously because of it being called tooting, it kinda gives off a hipster vibe of trying too hard to not be "tweet," and it sometimes just makes me think of stupid fart jokes lol.
Other than those two points, I am loving the fediverse and my mind is blown with how explosively active the Federated timeline is.

@LittleWytch No one is running an exact copy of QOTO that I know of. Though mastodon is what we are based off of and it is similar but with fewer features.
I think tooting is a less serious way of putting it for sure. I think that was part of the intention honestly, not to take itself too seriously.
Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad your enjoying qoto.
@freemo @LittleWytch Intentional or not, I just can't implicitly promote it, so I always use "post" as the noun and either "post" or "send" as the verb.
