The Retro Gaiden web interface has a ton of custom CSS applied to it, which makes it look unlike any other #Mastodon server on the #Fediverse!
It's something we take a great deal of pride in at this instance, especially when 99% of other Mastodon servers look identical.

@Jerry Thanks! I was hoping the recent #news regarding #meta in the #court cases would maybe bring a few new #friends to #Mastodon, and I have openly advocated for the #fediverse and even shared #links and #articles that I have found here. Does anyone have any further #advice about discussing #decentralized #socialmedia with people? I think most are reluctant to abandon the convenience that Meta and #X provide. I know a couple of #women who have tried #Substack but they seem intimidated by the Fediverse. It's not that scary once you cross the threshold! I keep recommending hear-me.social as a good place to start!
Wow! Just realized I have been on hear-me.social for a whole month, as of today. #Thanks for putting up with a #newcomer. I still have so much to learn! I don't miss #meta at all, although I hope my longtime friends there are ok.
I have tried to talk up the #fediverse and #decentralized #socialmedia to #friends, associates, and just anyone who will listen. No joy yet.

Curerntly I use @Vivaldi
And in this case I love the fact my browser is following me!
But in the #Fediverse kinda way 
There are tons of #Mastodon clients out there. You can also simply use the web site for your instance. You are in full control of your #Fediverse experience and can customize just about everything to your liking. That’s another reason why open source, decentralized social media will *always* be better than big/ centralized social media.

If you really believe in the silly 500 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?
Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.
I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" 🤦🏻♂️
Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.
#Mastodon #GoToSocial #GtS #snac #fediverse
Edit: I forgot, it's 500, not 250. I was probably thinking of Twitter, which went from 140 to 280, and now who even knows. XD

(Although remember that nothing is private on Mastodon. Your private mentions/direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted so your instance admins – and anyone hosting a hammer to their knees – could be reading them all. If you want to talk privately, use Signal or Delta Chat. Never share sensitive information on “private” messages on Mastodon. That goes double for our friends in Gaza.)
