Bloodaxe@Tutanota I'll stay around. I love the tech, I love the people, I love the conversations I can have here. So yeah, I'm sticking around for the long run I believe 😎

:dontpanic_nobg:@Tutanota I'm not on mastodon, am I still allowed to stay? 😁
удалитьI won't be on Mastodon, I will be on Fediverse.

Hi there!
I'm one of your paying users and I'm very happy that you are part of the Fediverse.
Please, consider taking about the Fediverse instead of Mastodon. Mastodon is a software to access the Fediverse. Please don't reduce the Fediverse to Mastodon. The Fediverse was build by several others developers, long before Mastodon arrived.
Reducing the Fediverse to Mastodon is like calling the whole email network Gmail. Would you like it if people used Gmail to refer to Tutanota? I certainly wouldn't! And I know that you wouldn't either!
So, please, don't help the growth of this mistake!
Keep up with your great work!
Best regards to the whole Tutanota team!

Adrian Morales@joao @Tutanota The problem is that most people don't understand what this all means, myself included. Please keep in mind that we're all coming from Facebook and Twitter. Everything was tightly controlled over there.
The Fediverse, however, is just one big ocean. People just want to board the first ship they see. Right now, that ship is Mastodon.
@adrianmorales
I don't forget that. I meant no harm to anyone, and I said that respectfully.
The point is that insisting on the mistake won't make it correct. So, calmly, everyone can learn the difference.
Tutanota knows the difference. They should find a way (which is easy) to convey their message correctly.
As I said, they wouldn't like people to say that Tutanota is Gmail.

Apparently I'm on an instance running something called Akkoma. I know it's confusing, but it may be better to use terms like Fediverse or ActivityPub.

Just remember... #Mastodon is just one service in the #Fediverse... 😎

Ryan The Red 🖥️🚲🍺🏳️🌈@Tutanota I love it here, and am thankful for the community.
Jürgen Hubert@Tutanota After long years on Google+ and Twitter, I am just happy to be on a platform that _can't_ just be closed down or irrevocably altered by corporate whim.
Rule 2 Racing Official@Tutanota …a year ago I didn’t think I’d be off Twitter.
xyhhx@Tutanota i'm disappointed

I've been in Fediverse since 2010 and don't see any point in leaving. Even though I don't use Mastodon for that but #Calckey as access software.
There is #notonlyMastodon in the Fediverse

I don't intend to leave the #Fediverse after 5 years. I *might* consider running my own node (probably running Pleroma if I do), but I'm here to stay ᕙ( • ‿ • )ᕗ

@Tutanota Not when I get zero customer support from a product I just purchased, NO.

rastinza@hschmale @Tutanota I don't think you'll find what you're searching for here.
Don't get me wrong, there are some people doing that, but I feel this is not a good place for such things and the vast majority of users don't use this social that way.
A better place to find such things are blogs.
Here I appreciate the community building process and the societal development. It's not people following other people but rather creating meaningful relationships with other users, getting to know them and discovering what springs from common interests.
Generally, I interact with a few groups of people whom I share something with and only rarely I get to write things for the general public.
I do sometimes write extensive analysis on some topics, but these are generally in a discussion with somebody. As an example: I am a chemist and some time ago there was a discussion about the methodologies to deal with tear gas; so I helped them out by performing a literature review on the topic and providing them with extensive information about the different types of tear gases and possible remedies.
You give to other people and get from them.
I try to keep the amount of people I follow small, as that helps me to have a cleaner and more explorable home timeline.
Jack Yan (甄爵恩)@Tutanota Been here since 2017, unlikely to leave. Unless this place turns into a duplicate of OnlyKlans, which is hopefully unlikely.
Kenny@Tutanota there is more to the #fediverse than just Mastodon.

RDNone of the above. I mean yeah, I will likely still be "here" in a year, I don't see why not. But I can't say "Of course".
Lstn2urmama@Tutanota well if you are computer savvy probably ...those of us that cannot figure this out probably not...it is slowly killing me already...
Anne-Marie de Jong@Tutanota
Absolutely.
Absolutely.

fahru@Tutanota stay around unless something makes me unable to use internet IRL lol
Hiro :longcat021::longcat023::longcat024:@Tutanota I'm not on #Mastodon but on #Calckey . Nonetheless I can interact with the rest of #fediverse , Mastodon included 
Digital Mark λ ☕️ 🕹 👽@Tutanota Mastodon dot social? Haven't been there in years, terrible place, I highly recommend moving off it.
Mastodon the server? Eh, it's working for now but it would not be my first choice for anything.
Fediverse, the ActivityPub network? Likely to be the only social network/sharing protocol for decades to come.
Laimis@Tutanota unless I die or it gets somehow someway acquired by an imbecile, I am staying. Highly unlikely to be "acquired", you can always carve out your own space on fediverse, so 99.99% will be here.
SearingTruthIf the default character limit were raised to 2,500 Mastodon's popularity would explode fellow citizen Tutanota.
As humanity is too complex to discuss and debate in 500.
However I greatly appreciate Mastodon and it's many compassionate instances, and of course will remain and continue to wrangle with the restrictions as best as I can.

Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한🦣@SearingTruth I'm not sure. There are instances with 3,000–5,000-character limit.
* c.im – 5,000 (#Mastodon)
* hashi.icu – 300,000 (#Misskey)
* i.calckey.cloud – 3,000 (#Calckey, fork of Misskey)
* public.garden – 5,000 (#Rebased, fork of #Pleroma)
* c.wtf – 5,000 (Rebased)
Back in 2008, it did have an effect when the first #fediverse instances—other than the original (#identica)—showed up with more than 500-character limit. There were instances with 500; 1,000; 3,000; and 5,000; at least those I remember. Those were popular.
Thank you for the information fellow citizen youronlyone. I'll attempt to join one of them.

An Agora@SearingTruth @Tutanota would you consider switching to an alternate (but still compatible) platform?
Things other than mastodon have higher than 500 character limits.
my instance for example (Pleroma) has a 5000 character limit... but it's also configurable. CalcKey, MissKey, Akkoma, Rebased and so on also have this configuration.
Mastodon is the limitation in this case, not the fediverse.

@SearingTruth @Tutanota Ah, sorry, I wasn't offering my own instance 
it's locked down anyway, nobody can join it.
All I was saying is there's loads of non-mastodon instances with larger character limits - just trying to spread the word of non-mastodon software :-)
https://freespeechextremist.com/ for example is a Pleroma instance with a char limit of 16384 (that may be the one I reference on my about page actually... but hey, if you want political debate that's probably one of the more "famous" places for it

I never liked the bird site. I’ve long since grown tired of the book of faces which my mother’s generation seems to adore, and never cottoned to the children’s video consumptions.
I am Goldilocks and this bowl of porridge is juuuuuuuust right.

Botahamec@Tutanota If there are still posts, then I'll still use it
SnoBahr@Tutanota As long as my friend keeps his server available (and I don't do anything stupid). I'm still figuring out what I'm doing. I'm not a programmer, I'm SAH, and can't really *do* much, but putter around online. But the friends I have on Mastadon are pretty awesome, and the people I've found through those friends are also really nifty. I just have no idea what I'm /doing/.
@Tutanota I'll always be here. I've been in the #fediverse since Evan, father of the fediverse, launched #Laconica (first software) and #Identica (first instance) when the network was still using the #OpenMicroBlogging protocol in 2008.
So, yeah, I'll always be here for as long as I breathe. ^_^
MarkR@Tutanota No where else that is more friendly.
