@rands it's not too bad, it takes a while to get used to though!
@ryanmr So many columns.
@rands I'm on a different instance, so I guess by default I only have 2 columns here
@ryanmr How does one end up on a different instance and does it matter?
@rands it is! the idea is that if you don't like the policy / rules of your instance, you can go to another, or make your own. I like to think of it like WordPress for blogging but for Twitter
@rands sorry, it's hard to describe! the wiki entry describes the federation part a little better https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software)
@ryanmr That's kind'a awesome.
