RobI have questions about Mastadon:
1. Are these messages 'toots'? Is that official, out just something I've seen around?
2. Do the servers have different problems, response times, crash rates? I've found this very slow and buggy today. Is that normal? If servers vary in this way, is there a place to see server stats across the system?
3. Am I doing threading right?
Markus Pössel@orbitingfrog Threading looks good, insofar as your toots are shown to me as a thread. From what I've seen elsewhere, Mastodon doesn't keep threads (a chain of self-answers) together very well if someone else also answers the original tweet, though. (Not the case in your example.)
Alasdair Allan@mpoessel @orbitingfrog Yes, thread looks good. Although I've seen it recommended that posts subsequent to the original one are marked as "Unlisted" rather than "Public" to not clutter up people's timelines I'm sort of unconvinced about it. That said, threads aren't quite as obvious visually here as in the other place, so I tend to give more context to each post because it may well be boosted and seen entirely separately (and not obviously be part of a thread).
