@essentialrandom toot! is the only ios app i know of that attempts any kind of visual hierarchy — not an app ive used a bunch so i wont comment on how effective said attempt is
@bloodwrites i heard that they’d quietly deleted the announcement thread / policy page about it but good to hear they’ve actually changed their actual moderation practices as well! (considering how long they waited after they’d started banning people to make a public announcement i genuinely wasn’t sure lol)
@alexis tooot (yes three o’s) has a clean minimalist interface — most the other ios apps seem to have animations that i find distracting
it is i think one of the newer ios apps? receives updates pretty frequently but there are some small things missing. they also offer a ton of interface language options, which i appreciate
@mishellbaker you get a choice! here’s what the interface looks like from web view, the “hide notifications” toggle will determine whether you see posts where you’ve been mentioned:
@heatherrosejones i didn’t realize you’d joined fedi! really enjoyed your series on Grandjean’s marriage trial
Please boost!

📟🐱 GlitchCat Sunday Post, 18 December 2022
The GlitchCat #SundayPost offers news and updates from our corner of the fediverse to yours.
§ Current Events :—
• Twitter has started banning journalists as well as anybody who ever links to another website, so lots of people are now saying “maybe this place isn’t great” and uh, leaving lmao. Some of them are coming here. Be nice; enforce boundaries.
• Some publication reporting on this misheard some details (I can only imagine they were communicating over the phone) and interpreted “the Join Mastodon account, run by the person who made Mastodon” as “John Mastodon’s account, the maker of Mastodon” (this post has a screenshot), so anyway that’s a meme. I expect it to be up there with Lance Ulanoff/William Shatner RPF in popularity for the forseeable future.
§ Instance News :—
• We’ve done some re·organizing of our emojice; the blobcat emojos now all start with blobcat_ instead of no underscore; satsuma is now catsuma and filed under “Cats”; the most recent dragn emojim have been added. All the old shortcodes still work; they’re just not listed in the emoji picker or suggestions anymore.
§ From Our Users :—
• @Lady has been working on some improvements to her shrine-xslt static site generator in the hopes of maybe one day using it to build an e·zine. More about this in the coming weeks, maybe.
§ Holidays and Observances :—
• 🌌 21 December is Longest Night, a·k·a the Winter Solstice. Get cosy, tell ghost stories, and drink warm beverages!
