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.

Social media helps you to connect with sensible people with diverse backgrounds but if its became toxic, we should try detoxification!

Especially with the recent changes in the management of @[email protected] it behaves in a very divisive manner.

They started hunting sane and liberal voices using the ploy of policies!

Those policies align with the venom spotted by Madhu Kishwars and Dr. Pradhans & hate hashtags!

@[email protected]'s explanation on their discriminatory policies is one of the depressing justifications I seen on recent times.

For @[email protected] internationally acclaimed picture defying Nazi salute is nothing but depicting hateful imagery!

I don't know whether laugh or cry!

Of course, joining @[email protected] is little confusing for the non-tech savy people.

They are confused with the "instances" and "apps" to choose!

Understand that Mastodon is not a platform but a protocol to connect in Fediverse. So dont look for legacy apps here!

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

Many of my friends here using iPhone says that "Amaroq for Mastodon" is one of the neat apps in iOS
