I agree with not supporting any service that won't interconnect or work with browsers.
But, let's not forget that the majority of twitter users were on mobile.
In many parts of the world, mobile *is* the internet.
Mobile only users tend to be younger, less wealthy, less likely to be white, and more likely to from outside the US.
The flipside is don't skimp on mobile. It's essential.
I did a poll and users here lean more to desktop than twitter. It's a huge factor in many issues.
Here is the new poll which I tried to make more neutral (and changed the order of the options) Hopefully it will get more responses... but I don't really expect it to be very different (let's see!)
Hi. It would help me a lot if I could get a HEAP of responses to this poll. The goal is to get a decent enough sample so results are predictive of the wider user-base right now. I dislike asking for boots but this is SCIENCE... or something. (Thanks.) How do you use Mastodon MOST of the time? On a phone, or other touch screen device? OR On a device with a keyboard like a laptop or desktop computer? (If it's half and half choose the middle option.) [ ] I mostly use mobile/tablet [ ] It's within a margin of error of an even split [ ] I mostly use desktop/laptop [ ] don't want to vote, but want to see poll results
