...feels weird being the only one in the close family with an iPhone now
everyone recently switched to the S9 ._.
It's finally here! v1.0 of Toot! has been officially released on the app store!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/toot/id1229021451?ls=1&mt=8
For those who have not been in on the beta test already, this is an Mastodon client for iOS, full of character and whimsy. It is multi-instance, multi-account, it is fast, it is comfortable and it is above all a lot of fun!
It has a strong focus on user experience, animation, and attention to detail, as well as being the best client for Mastodon around. Try it now!
oh and every external link opens in Chrome, not your default browser
taking notes from MS, are we Google?
Reminder re: Bad instances
So far, the hamfisted attempts at commercialisation of the Fediverse have been ridiculous/mock-able, probably in violation of the AGPL and they just didn't get momentum
But when a slick, user-friendly instance with proprietary code and targeted ads comes along with the backing of Google or whatever, ready to "embrace" the Fediverse (coming soon: "extend" and "extinguish"), we might not have much time to mash the "block" button before it's too late
Reminder re: Bad instances
If you are an instance admin, you NEED to block instances, and do so EARLY when they are being run by people who are acting in bad faith
* Hiveway was very stoppable because they didn't have a critical mass of users for whom it would be seen as "unfair" to block them for their admins' bad behaviour
* Bofa was a lot harder to stop because there was like a million hand-wringing about how many users they had, and how it's "not their fault"
Block bad instances EARLY
i'm at @sc now for the time being, go follow me there!
