To me, Mastodon proves how well the web works as an app platform: it’s fun to use on Mac, iPad, iPhone.

macOS shell tip: if you drop a folder on a tab of Terminal.app, it cds to that folder.
It looks like Mastodon will work out: lots of new users, still working well for me.
OK, so replies *are* hidden from followers. Same rules as on Twitter?
1. If you start a toot (any toot, not just replies?) with an @-mention, only people who follow you and the mentioned account can see the toot.
2. Removing the @-mention, moving it to the end or prefixing it with a dot shows the toot to everybody.
Twitter features I miss:
– Polls
– Quoting tweets (=embedding them via their URLs)
– Shared accounts (a “business” account is operated/shared by multiple user accounts)
– Scheduling tweets

If there were more than one way of favoriting a toot, one could already do simple polls in Mastodon.
Interesting: React supports migration between versions via codemods.

@lifewinning@witches.town Main obstacle from my point of view is Twitter’s popularity. Apart from that, I’m using Mastodon almost exactly like Twitter.
