Same as mastodon, or the fediverse for that matter. But there's a catch with BS.

I wish it was more IndieWeb compatible but I guess that’s just an opportunity for someone else.

Would be nice to have different clients that can render and manage the feeds. Are you aware of anyone doing it already?

In the past, Twitter had this option until a guy who championed to open source the product after purchase locked it down instead.
