  6. 6

    familierRubbish; tat.

  7. 7

    A message on the social networking software Mastodon.

    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.

Étymologie
