@[email protected] @halcy @Gargron Hey Trev - happy to give some constructive criticism. Creating community-specific forums/twitter/subreddits/websites has been brewing in my mind for years.
My first suggestion is: it needs to be easier for people to understand. Most people won't understand what an 'instance'. I still can't tell the difference between the 'local' timeline & the 'federated' timeline

May some time of visualization / infographic on how it all works will help new Mastodoners.
The connection between other GNU social instances (from https://social.guhnoo.org) and Mastodon instances from instances.mastodon.xyz isn't too clear either - do those messages cross-post too? I'm sure the answer is buried somewhere

Could @[email protected] be someone besides me? (answer is yes) but that's confusing AF!
I would suggest having @handles be the same across all instances before the rest of twitter joins here. I understand that's probably technically difficult to do.

I'm also inclined to be loyal to Mastodon vs Qvitter & Classic purely based on the fact that Mastodon is not in PHP (meaning I'm open to trying Pleroma (but not Aegnus because who the fuck would name something with a non-english keyboard letter in the name?))
