What mastodon apps are you using? I use Mac and Apple ecosystem normally and looking for something native.
@astromd I use @ivory all day, every day. There's native ios and macos apps. I've also used Ice Cubes and it was pretty good too.
I just got Ivory and will check it out!
keep in mind: Apple actively censors fediverse apps. You are getting an intentionally crippled experience. Like everything else in the apple ecosystem, the fediverse clients are #defectivebydesign
Could you please explain? Thanks.
There's been many instances of fediverse applications that have tried to get into the apple ecosystem, but have been denied because they won't censor apple's political opposition. Generally: the apple ecosystem is a system of oppression, built on intentionally defective by design hardware. Many features are not just missing, but missing because the people who control your device don't want you to have them, not because of some kind of technical constraint.
Uh...how? I have not seen any evidence of that. Can you offer a link or a source to this claim? And what is "actively censors" supposed to mean? All apps go through the approval process.
Then you haven't been around the fedi long enough. I do not have the threads where this has happened, but the precedent was set around the time mastodon started in 2016. I might have talked about it in my podcast I can't remember
As in, if you have things that apple does not approve it will not get approved. This includes censorship of their political opponents.
Indeed, that's the problem. Don't let apple decide what software you run - use alternative platforms that don't treat you like some kind of prisoner instead.
@astromd @awilbert Personally I love/use Mona, but Ivory is also really good. It's made by the devs of Tweetbot. If something free is more your taste, there's also Ice Cubes
Mona looks interesting. Ivory seems complicated, but then again so it Mastodon in general.
@astromd Ivory, like most things Mastodon, seems complicated on the surface.
In Truth, Mona is a little more complex because it's just so customizable, Ivory is more ready for almost anyone to use it
