I’m thinking about joining mastodon, but I don’t know what server to go with, and the list of servers seems to have very little information about each. Right now I think I’ll open an account on mastodon.social.
I’d prefer a server with a high character limit and that has access to most other servers.
https://c.im has 5000 characters limit.
https://kolektiva.social (anarchist) has 10 000
https://infosec.exchange has 11 000 characters and formatting.
https://qoto.org has 65 535 character limit and other features, but some servers (including Universeodon and main British one - mastodonapp.uk) block it.
You also can’t follow hashtags on qoto.org
Asked a few qoto users, you actually are able to add a hashtag view as another column.
