Just curious, what is unreliable for you? My setup is as reliable as Twitter ever was for me (I run my own server). Some things are annoying of course, but I’m a little surprised techy people would find those rough edges so bad they wouldn’t use it.
- Waterluvian 4y agoI’m not on the same server as all my Twitter friends and I cannot get my timeline to reliably update with everyone’s Toots and Goots. It works if I catch up the next morning. But there is no reliable ability for real-time Toot Blooting. In all fairness I took two weeks off. Maybe it’s better. Or maybe I need to try another server (three tries so far.) Figuring out what server to pick was ridiculous. I eventually decided “just find a really popular one.” But they were all just crashing out when making an account or were closed to new accounts. I misunderstood what “federated” meant because I also learned that it really matters what server you’re on. It’s not like email. The length of your Toot is different, rules of what you Toot is different. The stuff on your server is a bit more first class than what’s on other servers. And my Toot Boots didn’t Doot Doot or Bloot Flute.
- thejohnconway 4y agoIt sounds like you joined the really big servers when they were buckling under the load. I’ve not had any of these problems at normal times, or with servers that weren’t being hammered. I will say that with the caveat that I haven’t paid that much attention to real-time posting.
