Long description

It is a Mastodon instance that was setup to help people get OFF of Facebook. No longer beholden to a single company, you should own your own content.
Unlike most Mastodon instances, our "toots" allow up to 10,000 characters!
We support, allow, and encourage longform content, in the belief that too much shortform content has shortened people's attention spans.
