Can you explain briefly what is the difference between Firefish and Mastodon? I checked Firefish and looks the same but on white.

You can also send DMs on Firefish and I haven't found a way to do that on Mastodon.

A mastodon DM is a private post. Setting a post to private before sending means only mentioned accounts can see it, and all mentioned accounts get notified. In a sense this enables both DMs and group messages too. But it’s not the most elegant interface for it tbf. A good app makes this feel more DM like, such as Ice Cubes on iOS or the equivalent on Android.

Oh ok. I'm still learning it. I like Firefish better design wise.
