I connected my @[email protected] and @[email protected] through cross posting.
So whatever I post in either of the places are available at both.
This is for the time being & in future, I will disconnect them.
Just like I left @[email protected] many years back due to its creepy nature, I think I may leave @[email protected] for its toxicity and undemocratic policies.

From my experience "Tusky" for Android is one of the sleek and neat choice for Android users.

Mastodon is like Twitter, but federated and based on open protocols.
This blog post by @[email protected] explains what that means and what it is like to use Mastodon.
