Can anyone who understands how this platform works better than me explain why we can’t have crucial harassment tools like restricting replies to mutuals only, or mass blocking? Also any reason we can’t get link previews on here? Just curious if these are things that can ever be implemented 🙏🏻
Wow so many great replies here!! Thanks everyone and going to try the Toot app 💓
@taylorlorenz I’m really liking Toot! Good luck!
@taylorlorenz another Toot! recommendation. No regrets.

@taylorlorenz

It’s more sane and civil

@taylorlorenz Toot is great, so is @ivory (but it’s in alpha right now, not out yet!) You’ll be happy with it! Good vibes 💙
@taylorlorenz this is the best app good luck I hope you can get spam under control.
@taylorlorenz that’s the one I am using since a few years. Working great on iOS. @tootapp
@taylorlorenz Bring it! Give it a shot, in a short time you will like it here. Good peeps, lots of interactions.
@taylorlorenz Toot is really good! It’s also really great on iPad if you have one.
@taylorlorenz I love Toot! It really has improved my experience here 💯
@taylorlorenz ooh hadn’t heard of this one. Let us know if it’s any good! I see it’s $4 which seems fair if it’s actually good.
@taylorlorenz Would love to hear a podcast or watch a video about the "new Twitters" - who is really behind Mastodon, Post, Tribel, Hive, etc etc?
@taylorlorenz everyone’s waiting for @ivory but I’ve been super happy with Mammoth... @JPEGuin makes it and it’s in open beta.

@tomeppy @taylorlorenz @ivory @JPEGuin +1 for mammoth, also if you are looking for a minimalist client try Mastoot.

The only thing I don’t like about Toot! app is that it does not have an option to view trending posts and hashtags.

@taylorlorenz Toot’s the way to go! I used a few others before landing on Toot; I’m a fan of how it allows me to check out posts on different servers.
@taylorlorenz you can't say this after I put all of this effort in making a profile here 💀
@taylorlorenz would be nice to read some interesting toots, but without Musk or twitter in it.
@Zugi @taylorlorenz You might want to mute those terms, and variations on them like “Elno” and “birdsite,” so you don’t have them show up on your feed. You can even limit how long they’re muted, so you can mute them for just when things go chaotic over there.
@stopthatgirl7 @taylorlorenz thanks, these are interesting functions!
But it’s more a lot of people moved to mastodon and only Musk is important and the only thing.
All should do a twitter and musk sabbatical for 4weeks also the journalist’s where left.
This would also help to get it down. We have so many interesting or important things where we could toot about.
Like new technology’s or Ukrain or will it ❄️ on Xmas 😊 or…
Have a nice Xmas with a lot of ☮️ 🎄Zugi
@taylorlorenz I really like Mammoth. It’s in beta. https://testflight.apple.com/join/66c1wW8y

@taylorlorenz happy this popped across my feed! Forgot how much I appreciated link previews. #tooot: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1549772269

@taylorlorenz AFAIR, @paul offered special early access to @ivory (Tweetbot for Mastodon) to journalists. I‘d highly recommended you take him up on that offer and give it a try – Ivory makes Mastodon so much more enjoyable.
@taylorlorenz read this as “Tool App” and thought the band was about to launch a new album.
