@shaneafsar @joshfinnie Ah, yes, I also used https://www.movetodon.org to find and follow my Twitter follows on Mastodon.

Huh.

Consumer Reports (CR) has released a mobile app (iOS, Android on the way) that shows what data companies collect about you, then allows you to have CR get the data deleted:

https://www.permissionslipcr.com

Essentially, CR will act as the data ombudsman for anyone who asks them to. I love it.

CR is a non-profit that accepts no advertising or corporate sponsorship, and they have a great reputation. It's a superb choice to take on the data capitalists.

US-only (don't @ me).

@joshfinnie Oh and using @ivory — it won’t help with your timeline, but it’s one of the only apps that made the Mastodon experience feel premium and enjoyable.

@joshfinnie I felt the same way you did when I first moved over to Mastodon, but I just needed to give it time and follow more people.

Is sports mastodon a thing?
Show threadDerek P. CollinsJan 29, 2023
@BickyBhullar I’ve not seen much. I barely visit the bird site, but when I want sports takes, that’s where I end up going — it was the only way I could find the latest on Damar Hamlin, for example.
