On the left, the 404 Media Ghost account (@feed @404media.co), as viewed from my GotoSocial account, via Phanpy. On the right, the same account, as viewed from a Mastodon account, also via Phanpy.
What’s interesting is that the GtS account displays the entire text of the article, while the Mastodon account only shows the preview and a link…
You can also follow the same account from PieFed, but currently there’s nothing that comes up.
Commenting on the term “Mastoverse” (I’ve also seen “Mastoland”) - I kinda like it! It’s cutesy and fun ☺️.
OTOH, it’s also exclusionary, like all the other software that implements the ActivityPub Protocol that can communicate with Mastodon - Mbin comes to mind, and PieFed is making forays into it, as well as more major Mastodon alternatives, diaspora*, Pleroma/Akkoma, GoToSocial, Misskey/Sharkey, etc. - don’t exist or are entirely irrelevant.
Which numerically speaking may well be true, but it is the opposite of welcoming. I would liken it to calling the Threadiverse as the Lemmyverse, which I see instead as rather a tankie-enriched subset of the former.
Is there some other term for the subset of the Fediverse that represents the user-centric microblogging format? Or is Mastoverse kinda it, even though it doesn’t seem to be used all that much?
Yeah that was on purpose.
Not that I’m aware of, I just made it up 🤷
