GoToSocial is a microblogging service and one of the Template:Internal Link's replacements for Twitter.
It is just a server though, without a frontend, which means you have to use Tusky, Elk, or another Mastodon-compatible app to use it.
What does GoToSocial feel like?
Since you use it with Tusky or Elk it feels exactly like Template:Internal Link when using one of these apps.
There are just a few little differences.
Your profile and public posts also have a read-only web view which is simpler than the web view on Mastodon.
What are some advantages over Twitter, Mastodon & Co?
With GoToSocial you have a character limit of 5000 by default - the admin can change that.
Same goes for the default limit for poll options (6) and other limits.
The web view loads a lot faster than on Mastodon.
For admins, GoToSocial uses less storage, memory and other resources than Mastodon, so it can run on less powerful systems.
