Fediverse

I've been 'inhabiting' mastodon.social since about the beginning. I've often been frustrated by the limitations imposed by 500 characters of text.

It's just not enough to really express a literate view without splitting up a post among several posts.

Clearly, there are ways to circumvent the limitation, which illuminates it as a futile attempt to control the expression of others.

I know that was never the intention of Mastodon developers. I will reserve judgement as concerns Twitter.

Anyway, since the beginning of the 'great exodus' of mastodon.social users to their own community instances, I've been trying to sort out where I 'belong'.

Well, actually it just might be here :)
