I don't understand why Mastodon doesn't seem to have a way to see just original toots from people I follow.

I think this is the number one reason I haven't used it a lot since starting this account three years ago.

I do like to see boost and replies, but sometimes I'm short on time and just want to see what the people I follow are saying.

The Ice Cubes app on ios does this and it’s pretty easy to switch filters and accounts! Now to find a desktop solution!!
@librarianjenne Setting for disabling boosts per follower.

@mrcopilot thanks! I also found that using Ice Cube on my phone lets me see just original toots!

Also, go birds!

It took me forever to figure out where that was, but I found it! Thanks!
