Mastodon went from 1.2M active users last week to 1.8M active users this week. That's not 70M users overnight, but it's something! 🙂

Saw someone talking about the edit button on here and I shamefully have to admit that I was one of those people who believed Twitter should never have one, because "what if I like a post and then a guy changes it to nazi shit" and "how am I gonna prove what that nazi said to me to make me go off like that in the reply, otherwise?"
Two things I learned when coming here, and I learned them very quickly
A) about 80% of my worries are covered by Mastodon giving me a notification that the post I liked or boosted, has changed - I just read it again and if it's a problem, I unlike/boost.
B) the remaining 20% of my problem is more or less solved by having a server admin who is on MY side against, well, literal fucking nazis, and doesn't want me to spend all of my time building airtight cases to prove nazis are harassing me beyond the shadow of even unreasonable doubts, before they'll do anything.
The edit feature is fine. The problem was Twitter.

FB launched a social network that forces you to download an app, in 2023, the first year they could have had Push Notifications on the web on iOS.
But folks tell me they want the web to win.
Sure.

Last boost prompted me to start trying out some of the other mastodon clients for android besides Tusky. Megalodon's ui seems to be a bit more polished

You don't need to use the official Mastodon apps, they're not the best way to use Mastodon. The official apps only arrived last year, and they were intended as "Fisher Price My First Mastodon" things with a restricted set of features.
Third party apps have been around longer than official ones, and include way more features. You can sign in with the same account on all apps.
:android: On Android try Tusky, Fedilab, Megalodon, Tooot
:apple_inc: On iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes, Ivory, Mona

At some point recently it just clicked for me that I'm past tired of hammering commercial social media sites into usable shape with ad blockers and other cosmetic browser plugins.
The only thing that fully meets that standard for me right now is mastodon. Tumblr fails, but I can deal because the only way it has gotten markedly worse lately is with the addition of tumblr live, which is easy to block and garners a LITTLE respect from me for probably being a money laundering scheme

I don't actually consider myself a huge partisan for mastodon but it's hard for me to talk about any other social media site except for tumblr, sort of, without coming off that way
