Is this my "main" presence or am I still on shellsharks.social? Fair question. The answer is, yes! This is a <a href="https://malici.ous.computer/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> instance, on a new fun, shiny, vanity domain. If it works out, I might end up moving all my activity over here and shutting down the Mastodon instance I have at shellsharks.social. Until then, I'm operating out of both spaces. This also means that for now, I haven't migrated my followers (or followed accounts) over here, so don't be offended if I haven't followed you back yet! I don't want to knock this fairly low-spec'ed instance over so I'm taking it slow with how I am using it.</p><p>Why am I doing this? Well for one main reason really, I wanted an instance where I could post more than 500 characters at a time. GtS gives me that, and much more. Bonus points for A. being less resource intensive than Mastodon (so cheaper to run), B. more customizable and C. I could get an even more ridiculous vanity domain.</p><p>So don't be surprised to see a lot more from this account than my usual <span class="h-card"><a href="https://shellsharks.social/@shellsharks" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>shellsharks</span></a></span> account. If you'd like, you can follow me here for now. No worries either way.</p><p>See y'all around Fedi!</p>
