Hello, Please move to Mastodon. It's pretty cool over here, and there's no ads.

  But "toots" has connotations of flatulence.

    perfect, and appropriate. everyone with qualms about that will self-select out of the userbase and mastodon shall become sleek and nimble, the most refined shitposting machine on all the internet

    In some random part of the US. Not in the rest of the world.

    Oh did they recently change "toots" to "posts"? Maybe that barrier to wider adoption is out of the way now. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/16080 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/16080

  There is a downside of having to spin and maintain your own instance, or maybe having to suffer from same issues.

    I use masto.host for managed hosting of my personal instance.[0] I've had a good experience so far, but I get the impression that I'm missing out on a lot of the user discoverability features of being on a bigger instance. My only gripe is that the website doesn't support exporting your data so that you're okay if masto.host disappears, but I request a backup via email once a month and they put it in my Megadrop within a day.

  Mastodon has one of the worst userbases I've ever seen. It's like Twitter with AIDS.

    Twitter is already Twitter with AIDS.
