I haven’t decided whether to keep separate personal (@stewf) and type (@typographica) accounts. Sometimes I regret having done that on Twitter. Sometimes not.
😍
— Toot formatting is separate from delivery. (Toots that start w/ mentions can be seen by all.)
— Search is great. I found users immediately & across Instances.
🤔
— Each Instance can have its own web design (see mastodon.social profiles)? Almost like a different client. Could be cool or confusing.
😩
— The lingo is dumb. “Toot” just feels like a second-rate “tweet”. “Instance” is tech jargon.
— Difficult to get started. Intro copywriting could be more clear.
— Sometimes very slow.
— Apps?
