So, @dapostrophe, what do you think of our new digs?
@dwshaffer eh. I’m kind of ambivalent about it tbh. Still more interesting stuff on the bird site. But maybe eventually this will be more central.
@dapostrophe
Ditto. But I do appreciate no ads and no trolls…
@dwshaffer yeah. I use a third party app 98% of the time so I very rarely see ads. Makes it much more pleasant. And I personally don’t have a big troll problem, so for now, I’m mostly going to stay over there.
@dapostrophe
A. What third party app?
B. There is also (for me) the principle of not wanting to support someone monitizing hate speech…
@dwshaffer A. Tweetbot. (It’s made by Tapbots and apparently they are working on a mastodon client, so that’s good news.)
B. Yeah this is a big issue. It’s not a great scenario right now. But also capitalism in general makes living in this word difficult. Not a lot of great choices available. So I don’t know. This federated model doesn’t have a lot of the affordances I have on twitter.
