The good thing about having multiple Mastodon servers is you can sign up for multiple accounts (one on each server) and use each one for a specific purpose. I have three separate Mastodon accounts: one for general postings, one for posting photos only, and one for book reviews. Followers can choose which 'aspect' of me to follow and ignore the rest.
This is unlike Twitter, where followers have no choice but to put up with my thoughts, book reviews and photos even if they are only interested in one thing.
- puyoxyz 4y agoYou can have multiple accounts on Twitter; it’s allowed and even encouraged since both the mobile app and the web app have an account switcher, and TweetDeck lets you use multiple accounts at once IIRC.
- sohkamyung 4y agoI never use Twitter apps, so I have no idea about TweetDeck's capabilities. If multiple Twitter accounts are encouraged, I've never seen the people I follow use it. They all post multiple kinds of things through one account, and never ask followers to follow any other Twitter accounts they may be using.
- rsolva 4y agoYou should check out bookwyrm.social for posting book reviews! It is a federated Goodreads alternative that makes it easy to share my book-related activity via my Mastodon account, and to keep track of my reading progression, quotes, reviews etc. I REALLY like the idea (and practial implementation) of linking different domains of information together trough an open standard like ActivityPub!
- sohkamyung 4y agoI have a Bookwyrm account. It's what I'm using to toot my book reviews. :-)
- rsolva 4y agoHaha, sorry for over-explaining :)
