New Early Access website is up which shows our current roadmap. It’s not a comprehensive list, but it will give you an idea of where our main focus is. We will update the list as we go.

Ivory for Mastodon
A Mastodon app based on the award-winning Twitter app for iOS.
I wrote 8,000 words on Mastodon, Twitter, and owning your data—from the perspective of someone that worked at Twitter for nine years.

Thoughts on Twitter, Mastodon, and owning your data
The simple geek playground at omg.lol is attracting me like a bug to a lantern. I had fun playing around with mix-blend-mode and absolute positioning for my web profile:

I need to figure out my mastodon strategy around notifications on iOS. Currently have four clients installed that I’m still evaluating, and I think all of them are popping up notifications for each fave and mention.
As much as the federated concept has in strengths, it seems like it breaks down quickly with no shared account namespace. There could and will be hundreds of “instances” with the same username, with very loose signals to verify which one is a canonical account. Sometimes one org or individual will create accounts on multiple instances without forwards. Sometimes those will just be different orgs/individuals using the same username on different servers. Truly a Wild West scenario for now.
When do I get to edit my toots?

The more I invest in finding people here (those I followed on the bird, and even new voices to me that I hadn’t), the better it gets. The exact network or tool doesn't matter much. It's the people and what they share that give it so much value.
What I also really like about masto so far is that I can get to the end of the feed, and nothing new appears on refresh. Yep, done with this for now. I’m caught up. I can move onto something else. It’s refreshing, in an ironic sense, because there’s often nothing to refresh. This will change over time. But I’m enjoying the way it is for now.
Despite my muscle memory of opening the bird app, I’m really starting to notice the change in my timeline there. So many of the voices I know and respect are gone. Remaining are mostly brands, news, political stuff, and people that have something to promote. It feels… soulless. For some reason, I resist opening mastodon. Even though when I do, and I start reading, I get the same warm, helpful, useful (though still raw) vibe of early bird days.
#MASTODONTIPS HUGE THREAD!
For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it. 😁👍
And be sure to check out the threaded replies for more tips. I will continue to add more. 👍🏼
