FediTips has moved!Dec 13, 2022

Have you ever interacted with the website of another Mastodon server and found yourself having to re-enter your username and password, again and again?

There's a new browser extension called FediAct which lets you directly interact with other servers' websites without having to log in again or copy/paste addresses.

➡️ Chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fediact/lmpcajpkjcclkjbliapfjfolocffednm

➡️ Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fediact/

More info about it at:

@feditips @lartsch So, great, but to attract the people fleeing to Post -- owned by tech VC and massive data gatherer Marc Andreesen -- installing a browser extension is more cumbersome than setting a cookie. Cookies aren't evil. Only evil cookies are evil.

No less cumbersome than clicking on “Tweet This!”, being led to an interstitial where I have to log into Twitter and give it permissions and then jump back to the modal where I actually tweet.

This isn’t 1997 where nobody knows what a browser extension does either. Put it out there, walk ‘em through it. Each one, teach one.
