Which means mastadon and tumblr as well as RSS.

Tapbots starebbe realizzando “Ivory”, nuovo client per Mastodon

Quanto ne sapete di Mastodon? In questi tempi turbolenti per Twitter, dove ogni cinguettio del suo genitore adottivo Elon Musk crea un mezzo terremoto, molti l’hanno adottata (e sponsorizzata) come migliore alternativa al servizio di microblogging creato da Jack Dorsey.

Hmmm. I'm biting the bullet and getting a new Mastadon account, it seems the new influx of people forced improvements on Mastadon. Also, new apps are being made that will make using Mastadon a lot smoother and more 'twitter' like UI and UX wise.

(One of them is Ivory by Tapbots which is in its Alpha testing, but I've heard good things about it).

*I've tried Hive social which had the most seamless experience and a lot of people joined but there were things that have come out about it that made me look at it warily.

Also, as a podcaster I listen to pointed out, its kind of tiring relying on a closed proprietary system after what's happened with twitter.
