GNU Social Vs Mastodon

I apologize for that, my post appeared fine on mailing list[1] but not on
forums. I think this is because I attached signature with the email.

I thought they use different protocols, and therefore incompatible like Diaspora.

Are there any feature-wise differences with Mastodon? One thing I
dislike about Mastodon is they impose a 500 character limit on
posts. They say it's customizable and every instance can have their own
limits but in practice it's so cumbersome that majority of instances
don't bother with it.
