Yet again: talking about how I wish the OFFICIAL Mastodon app was better does not mean I am asking for recommendations for third-party apps.

I am well aware of @mastodos@floss.social, @Tusky, @fedilab, etc.

The fact remains that for people on mobile platforms, searching "Mastodon" in their app store will bring them to the official app. I care about THEIR experiences, and am going to be vocal about improving it whenever I can.

Free/open source software is free, as in “freedom,” not necessarily as in “free beer.” Let’s take that analogy further:

The _recipe_ for the beer is open and free, but the process of brewing, bottling, storing, distributing, marketing, and supporting that beer is not cost-less! So, some indie brewers might ask people to pay for the beer itself. Some might ask people to pay whatever they value that beer at—even $0 if they want!—and it helps support the indie brewers.
