I changed to my Friendica account/s as my "default fedi" last year, a few times, but eventually kept coming back to Masto, for several reasons, not necessarily only, but including:</p><ul><li>could not find one with server/s in Oz or close by, that met my aspirations of being green, multi-user with at least a few hundred users, & ofc still open for rego</li><li>also preferred not a Merkan one</li><li>all the European ones i tried [servers in Germany, & Sweden?] had unacceptable latency for fetching & sending posts, & some of them had terrible unreliability / downtime</li><li>two of the Euro ones ran scheduled database backups etc at their 0200 or 0300, which was my 0900 or 1000, & they were unavailable / unresponsive then for 60' - 120', which was galling</li><li>most of my frequent interlocutors are on Masto, such that the many software differences twixt F & M actively adversely degraded the convo UX</li></ul><p>Given my Masto already has a most useful char limit of 11K, after my latest return to Masto early this year i took a different strategy. I stopped hunting for "better" fedi platforms [ie, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Pleroma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pleroma</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Akkoma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Akkoma</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Firefish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Firefish</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misskey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misskey</span></a> et al], & focused on investigating potentially better browser front-ends for my Masto instance. So i tried many more than these, but the interesting ones were <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Sengi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sengi</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Phanpi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Phanpi</span></a>, & <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Statuzer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Statuzer</span></a>. Every now & then i revisit the first two, but the latter has been my fav for several months now. </p><p>Good luck.</p>
