What is the advantage of a federated network (like
@Mastodon) over centralised networks (like
@TwitterOffical)?

Does this make it any easier for the governing team to control the sanity, reduce the toxicity and prevent the platform from enabling bigotry? - or are those functions of only the makers' politics?

Can one be part of multiple instances? For instance, can we make a separate instance exclusively for Left Mastodon and be part of both?

@dearthofsid it does say so. I added an instance in my account. It seems to work

@RateUnrate What does one need to start it? Or can anyone do it?

@dearthofsid this you have to program on the server on which you exist. There are some guides online, but I’d have to be a serious programmer to make one I think. @girishNaught ? Any thoughts?

@RateUnrate @dearthofsid I think the UI looks different and below the toot it says from amaroq (I guess that's another app). I'm using tusky.

@dorkymcdarkface @dearthofsid mastodon itself doesn’t have an app.

@dearthofsid @dorkymcdarkface @obscurosaur on iOS for instance this is the only client app GON, which don’t work at all. I looked at their Wikipedia mage too. Nothing
