You know what the -really- nice part about mastodon is?

All the resources load from the same A record. There is only one DNS lookup required to access a mastodon site.

This matters a lot, and it's something that a lot of websites get horribly wrong.

Especially for those of us who are on slow connections, loading up twitter or the like is -hideous-

So many third party libraries.

So many third party trackers.

So many various twitter domains.

And then having to go through their stupid tracking URL shortener? Takes about a week sometimes.

Versus here? Night and day. My site loads faster than twitter's CDN can push their nonsense.

Sometimes, simpler -is- better.

@munin I never use the Twitter app or site, only third-party native client. Makes all the difference. If #masto takes off, I hope there'll be good native clients for it.
