Tweetbot and Twitterrific Face the Cliff

There is something noble about two longtime rivals — competitors, yes, but with nothing but deep respect and camaraderie for each other — facing this terrible cliff together, with dignity and grace, considering their users first, as ever.

How we ended up in a world in which the SMS app on my phone is half a gigabyte is beyond me...

You’ve got me thinking … “the right want a social media site where they can own the libs, flex and troll. And it's boring trolling each other instead. While for the left, it's more about wanting a site to actually interact in a reasonable way with grown-ups.”

I'm kind of struck by how left-leaning the Fediverse is - after seeing so many right-wing social media sites stumble and bumble their way to ignominy. And I realised - the right want a social media site where they can own the libs, flex and troll. And it's boring trolling each other instead. While for the left, it's more about wanting a site to actually interact in a reasonable way with grown-ups. Just interesting to note. Fedi works because it works; Gab and Rumble and Truth and all the other right-wing circle-flappers just limp along without any users, because they don't offer what right-wingers want: targets.

@[email protected] welcome! Mastodon itself doesn’t have the feature, but some apps have implemented something like it through linking to the posts. I use the @[email protected] app which has the feature built right in. You can also use Re: Toot, although it involves a workaround using the share sheet on an iPhone https://apps.apple.com/us/app/re-toot/id1661697436
