    i forgot that literally the app you have to download to actually use the thing called “mastodon” is a pile of shit. everyone tells you it is bad and that you should actually be using bullshit like Fartle or iOS exclusive Sheen but they all have their pros and cons so you’ll need to try them all and decide for yourself. you pick one. it cannot currently handle DM’s. you have to download a separate app and follow its installation instructions to get notification support. someone tells you the creator abandoned it six months ago and is also mastodon cancelled for saying the gamer word. you log off. the instance you were on is unable to process the request for six hours because it was running full fat mastodon on a raspberry pi 3 in someone’s closet.
