I've done the "alternative Twitter" before and it never worked out. How do I do it better this time?

I'm finding it hard to use Twitter and Mastodon at the same time. Just so much stuff to keep up with.

Alice Glass just released a video for her new EP that I didn't even know about. I'm going to check it out. pastemagazine.com/articles/201

Mastodon UI question: Is there a way to reorder the columns?

I love that on Mastodon nobody mentioned the Slack outage. I want to be more like all of you. Let's be friends.

2001: Ha ha Linux could even run on a toaster! j/k
2011: Wow this toaster actually runs Linux. It’s not a joke anymore.
2021: Please pay the ransomware to receive your toast.

So it seems like there are no real (native) macOS clients for Mastodon. I'd be interested in starting a project to build one, but I don't know what the demand would be. And with all the "Mastodon is dead" articles I'm not sure if that's something that's a good long-term time investment.

Wow, the new episode of Star Trek Discovery. Wow.

I'm watching "mother!" and I know everybody hated it, but I love how fucked up it is. Totally my kind of movie.

Is there a way to filter the local or federated timeline by language? I'd only like to read English toots.
