Mastodawn

Okay, so holy crap: earlier today @permagriculture recommended this browser extension for Mastodon, and IT IS A GAME CHANGER: https://github.com/lartsch/FediAct#installation

One of the more annoying things on Mastodon is if you end up on a page on a different server.

This solves that!

It's fantastic.

I know that some people hate browser extensions, but if you're cool with them, check it out.

@mmasnick @permagriculture this is great and I'll try it, thanks for sharing.

Something I don't get about mastodon yet - is something like this seen as a flaw? Do they want the site to be more user friendly, or is that just not the mindset?

@P_K @permagriculture it's a tradeoff with the federated nature of it. Mastodon could build something like this in, though it would be a lot less secure and put privacy at risk. Forcing it into a browser extension gives the end user more protection.
