pretty tired @sk@catcatnya.com

did it !!! download here: https://github.com/sk22/mastodon-android-fork/releases

worth mentioning (it's kinda hard wrapping your head around it and remembering why and when to use what): #FediTips

the quasi-default, or what you'd expect from twitter, would be unlisted. you post something, people see it on your profile or in their home timelines if they follow you. people can also boost your post to repeat it onto their own home timeline. the basic concept of twitter

if you want something like a dark account, you'd set your profile to "require follow request" and then post everything as "followers-only". feels very unusual for twitter folks, because you can still post "unlisted" or "public", even as a "private account" - because it's not actually a private account. your posts aren't protected, except they're posted as "followers-only".

direct "messages" are super weird because once you started chatting with someone and you @ someone else, they can suddenly see the dms they're mentioned in. it makes sense, sure, but only if you don't think of those direct posts as conversations - and handily, mastodon helps with that by actually showing them as conversation! /s

please correct me if i got something wrong!!
