Barnes TechI don’t have the energy to do a play by play of all of the Twitter drama, but last week they decided to officially make it a rule to disallow 3rd party apps that imitate Twitter’s own functionality. While I understand the decision, in Twitter / Elon fashion, they did not communicate it, they just yanked the cord on everyone with no warning and over a week before there was any explanation.
Regardless, I can’t stand using the actual Twitter app, and I’m just getting tired of all the bullshit going on over there.
I started using Mastodon a couple of months ago, and I will say the app that you use to access Mastodon makes a big difference in the experience. Luckily the team at Tapbots that made Tweetbot, my preferred Twitter client, have been working on a Mastodon client, which just came out yesterday. If you’ve wanted to give Mastodon a try, I’d highly recommend checking out this app.
