Rad things about mastodon we take for granted

CW -these are amazing

Editing posts -hard to go back once you taste this

Alt text as the norm - (edit: you can be brief! edit it in later!)

Replies -option to delist them so we don’t clog the feed

Timeline curating -we have near infinite timeline options with filters, lists, local, federated, hashtags

Muting -we can choose a time period!

Character count -500 let’s you get an effing thought out

Ownership -we can own the damn thing ourselves

@seachanger I'm seeing that people signing up no longer have to pick a server. What about those of us who are already here? Can we expand?

@gotlucky what do you mean by expand? You can get on a different server and bring your followers but your posts stay on the old one…

@seachanger I guess I'm not sure how it works. I thought new people did not have to choose a server, period. I'm one of those who find this all very confusing. Thanks for any help you can give.

@gotlucky well no matter what everyone needs to be on a server. Maybe now they automatically put you on one of the large ones unless you pick a different one… I understand it can be super confusing! Kind of like learning a new language.
