@FediTips @WeirdWriter gts is not exactly user-friendly (no web UI, requires choosing a client and not always mastodon behaviour, federation of posts is not as liberal as mastodon for discovery) and the moderation tools are on the thin side (no way to block a remote user in a reversible way)

also the gts userbase is not exactly the kind to run public servers

i mean i run gts and i used to have friends on it because we can communicate re: the software and moderation in a close fashion, but i wouldnt feel comfortable running it for others
