(i'm posting this on two different instances right now; obviously, the majority of replies from strangers are going to come from other users of the instance, so it might be an interesting test of whether there is a discernable difference of culture).
to be honest, the lack of an exclusive federated namespace in mastodon is causing me a weird kind of social/tech anxiety. i now have accounts on three instances and can't decide which to use, and they don't share follow lists. any advice from more seasoned mastodon users?
i'm mostly on this instance because octodons are *really* cute. and conveniently named, for this platform, i suppose.
