Simply for convenience and speed. Nothing more.

Just uses Akkoma or GoToSocial, setup fedifetcher or follow some relays and you can get good enough experience in Fediverse. Mastodon is literally build to handle huge amount of users so it is nowhere near efficient if used for just 1 person.

Deleting efi partition just because grub not updated yet… 😅

Cool!, but the fedi software is not just that (especially #twitterverse ones). There are:

• Gotosocial -> a small server first fediverse-server apps. You can spun it with just $4 vps and get a dedicates instance with features comparable to Mastodon.
• Snac2 -> a smaller fediverse server apps, it even use less resources than Gotosocial, but the UI is so oldschool.
• Microblog.pub -> a python-based single user focused server apps for tinkerers. It fully compatible with Fediverse/Mastodon with nice ui.

I tried all of them and still use both Gotosocial and and Snac2 instances daily, and they are a nice piece of software for their own use-case. Granted, all of these list above is not straightforward to use, but can you add that on advanced category. It feels unfair if it just the usual trio (Mastodon, Misskey/Calkey, Pleroma/Akkoma) that has exposure in the forum. thx.

I use subway tooter. It is feature-packed and have strong tool to crossposting across different accounts. But its interface is not that pretty and confusing for first timer. Not recomended for casual users. But if you run several mastodon account at once, it has great tools to make your life easier.
