Periodic reminder: I'm switching my main Mastodon activity to Mammouth.cafe:

Adjust your reality accordingly.

@dredmorbius And just to be clear, there seems to be a common practice of signaling a main profile with ⭕ next to one's name, while using a ❌ for profiles that are not one's primary. Right?

@gideonro @dredmorbius Meh.

I chose the ⭕ because with my display name, there weren't enough characters left over for any of the cool emoji.

When I fired up a second instance, I had the same conundrum, thought that a distinction might be helpful, and went with what was initially my second choice, the ❌.

Which is a nose-thumbing at the original ✅ "verified" meme which was popular in ancient times, about three weeks ago.

@dredmorbius @dredmorbius Well, I'm going to follow your lead.

Done.

@dredmorbius @dredmorbius @gideonro This is a particularly interesting conversation. Are both of you using the web interface or an app?

@Jawoodward @dredmorbius @gideonro Web, Mobile.

@dredmorbius @Jawoodward @dredmorbius I'm using the web right now, but sometimes use Tusky.

@gideonro @dredmorbius @dredmorbius I too use Tusky. I can't figure out how to get it to handle more than one instance, though, without logging out.

@Jawoodward @gideonro @dredmorbius My understanding is that Tusky doesn't do that, for now. I don't use it, though I've seen others mention this.

@dredmorbius @Jawoodward @gideonro @dredmorbius Time to #giveupandusemultipleapps then? (I have two accounts, one in Tusky, the other in Mobile Chrome. At times I feel the latter works better).

@oliof @dredmorbius @gideonro @Jawoodward @dredmorbius I tend to ignore all those pesky apps meanwhile. Because browsers are more flexible (bookmarking, cut/copy/paste of relevant text, rarely possible in most apps), multiple tabs (on tablets too, not just on desktops) and most apps tend to be too nosy anyway.
