Toot

As for layout, Mastodon feels a little like TweetDeck, with columns for your toots, toots from the people you follow, your mentions, and (unlike Twitter) a timeline of all public posts being shared by every user on the platform.

Interestingly, Mastodon offers a bit more in that aspect for toots can be 500 characters long.

Mastodon users can send toots with 500 characters as opposed to Twitter's 140. But that's not the only difference. Individual toots can be marked as private, meaning you don't have to choose between a public or a private account like on Twitter.

So if I follow Nick, his toots (yep, they're called toots) will show up in wandering.shop's federated timeline.

Now rise up, Master Huddypeke, Your tail toteth out behind.

In the court, in the noblemen's houses, at every merchant's house, those Observants were spying, tooting, and looking, watching and prying, what they might hear or see against the see of Rome.

Long wandering up and downe the land, With bowe and bolts in either hand, For birds in bushes tooting.

The island rang, as yet, with the tooting horns and rattling teams of mail-coaches.

A horn tooted to the right, and I saw the black people run.

"In the morning, we get deer on the line. We tend not to 'toot' them because it seems that only makes them more likely to run across the track."

I had graduated from the simple tooting cocaine up my nose to smoking it, which was a completely different experience and animal.

Only want to toot in the Animal Rights instance? You can create an account there and do that.

One alternative to Fist is Mastodon, which looks and behaves a bit like Twitter (you don’t tweet, you “toot”).

Each instance has its own administrator and its own code of conduct, so make sure you read up before you toot.
