I saw a screenshot of a Mastodon app for iOS called Mammoth and it puts back the focus on follower, comments, likes and retoot counts that it basically tries to be a Twitter clone.

The fact that it also includes a feature to screenshot other toots to toot about them is just... just... horrible.

It just seems to go against everything that is Mastodon.

@hvangalen I do think that it should be easy to link to toots so that you can do you’re own post referring that OG toot but making mastodon like twitter defeats the point

@kennethwilsonuk Exactly. The screenshotting of toots smells too much like that sneaky behind-ones-back quoting that made that other place so horrible.

@hvangalen yeah, like OG twitter mastodon UI needs work and it will happen but trying to morph one service into another is folly, especially as mastodon doesn’t work that way!
