RE: RE: Switching from Twitter to Mastodon? Try Hive instead

The key to Hive is that your data and followers are tied to your account.

Like you said, front-ends can regulate what they display, but not the data itself.

So while you're at risk of being banned by the Mastodon server that you signed up via, there is no risk of being banned by the Hive network.

Hive's model is far superior to Mastodon's.
