Ever since I've focused on Mastodon over Twitter, the one major thing I've said over and over again that was missing (but I was sure was coming) was a Mastodon version of Nuzzel or Tweetshelf. A tool to find what news links your followers are sharing.

And... @decius has just built one! Just released today, so may be buggy, but already looks amazing and INCREDIBLY useful.

Drive/fly/walk-by wireless msg propagation...Alternative might be if censored at hosting inside one country/jurisdiction is to host in another I guess, then try to get around network or other in-country blocking. Become so distributed that individual blocking becomes harder, a whole warfare skillset rabbithole. We should have some more native tools for defenses ready to go and easy to use/teach." #FOSS
