As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.

Serious question: Are Mastadon users just like kbin and Lemmy users, but with a character limit?

If you want greater adoption, especially for Twitter users, then we should be evangelising Misskey and Calckey/Firefish over Mastodon, especially given the feature set more closely mirrors Twitter.

Anyone recommend a good iPhone app for Mastodon?

[–] echoplex21 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gonna go against the grain here and just recommend the default Mastadon app. It’s simple and gets the job done with no Bells and whistles. Not sure there’s much missing

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah I’m also on the default and not sure what other apps have going for them that make them better

Ivory is my favorite as long as you don’t mind supporting the developers. But a close second place for me is Ice Cubes.

CalcKey should have been renamed ℂ instead of Firefish. Because.

i never got into twitter, and the longer this goes on, the more glad i am about that

Elon has no idea how to run a social media company. At this point he's just trying random shit hoping it will work. Get the platform operating successfully again and then worry about branding...

That's a bummer, hang in there Mastodon, keep bloomscrollin

Hopefully a massive influx of Twitter jerks doesn't kill what makes Mastodon a nice place in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is just another of Elon's stunt to increase traffic to Twitter.
