@BeAware All they'd have to do is have an annoucement account. Problem solved.

@BeAware They haven't been down for too long, but it leaves me wondering, when this happens, if I have no Internet, or if my Mastodon client, Mona, is down or what. It's just confusing.

@BeAware Good for you. I'm okay here. The only thing that bugs me is that when the instance is down for software updates, they don't seem to announce it.

@BeAware I don't need millions of characters, but 500 is too few when posting about books, as I so often do. And I don't have the technical skills to host my own instance.

@BeAware Okay! That's good to know. I know, at least when I was searching for a good general instance, Mastodon World wasn't accepting any new users. I also wish instances would display their character limit. That would be very helpful.

@BeAware Hmm! Mostly I use lists, so yeah I probably wouldn't know. I suppose the same happens with Mastodon World and some others too?

@BeAware Oh, that makes sense. I've been on a few instances, and so I decided I'd like to be on a more general instance, one not mostly blindness or disability oriented. I just figured Mastodon Social, being the flagship instance, would be a good choice. I wasn't even thinking about moderation.

@BeAware Is it? Hmm! I don't really look at the local timeline here, so I would be the last to know.

@BeAware I follow a few people on the instance. I don't think Mastodon Social blocked it because it's noncontroversial, so who knows. some instances require you to have an account there before you can see the content, so at first I thought that was it, but obviously not so.

Tech can be weird sometimes. An instance i follow here was showing me almost nothing for quite a while, and now I'm seeing its posts, suddenly. Glad of it, I just don't get why now.

@luv4music1231 @LavenderPawprints Mona for Mastodon is good with filtering, but that is client specific. It works for me because Mona is all I use.
