She doesn't know about verified accounts, or that separate instances have separate rules. She also says apps aren't in the play store, but I got the Tusky app from somewhere. Maybe F-droid open source app store.

One thing to realize is that the instance you are on determines which sites are blocked, so if you like a poster from a blocked site, you will have to go out of your way to read them. I am unable to follow this blog, so I am reposting an image. This is how fast Mastodon has grown this week.

I promote content here that is hosted elsewhere, and I can put it in a pinned post that I can copy and change settings to make sure that pinned posts don't expire.

In truth the reason that I never used a twitter account is that they keep the posts forever and do research on them with your name attached. I suppose that is okay for some, but I always felt that as a teacher one could be fired and retaliated against because of the permanence of twitter threads. #mastodonDifferences

Question, I'm not a twitter user so I don't know. Do people search for and respond to very old posts on twitter?
I know that here you can set an expiration date on your posts whereas other sites keep things forever. On tumblr we talk about zombie posts that rise up from the dead. What was your experience on twitter? #mastodonDifferences
