@TapiocaPearl
I've been on here since 2019, but I was never really active until the Twitter Diaspora made this place take off. Now I have multiple accounts, and I actively promote Mastodon on Twitter.
@TapiocaPearl I completely understand due to limitations of Mastodon polls, but unfortunately, this is missing options for the earlier ostatus fediverse that mastodon was originally built on before ActivityPub was created. I started using the fediverse using statusnet (which became GNUSocial) in 2011-2013ish. I also used identi.ca around that time which was built on that platform.
@TapiocaPearl Made an account on hostux.social in summer '17. Instance-hopped 'til I found the one which suited me best.
