@feditips@mstdn.social I don’t get… it. So, you sign up to a server but all the servers talk to each other so what’s the benefit/difference of picking any one server over another? Like, why is @mastodon.social bad?

@ricbixter@mastodonapp.uk The reason this place works and is safer than Twitter is because people are spread out on many servers. If people all crowd onto one server, it can be dangerous for the network as a whole. It also makes mastodon.social harder to moderate if everyone is on there. Moderation tends to work better on smaller servers. Also, servers are all independently owned and set their own rules, and some have nice extra features (like higher character limits etc),

@ricbixter@mastodonapp.uk @feditips@mstdn.social Your local and federated feeds will be messy with a lot of unrelated topics that you may not have interest in.
