On: Show HN: XDeck – An ad-blocking client app for mac...

Well, I certaintly find it useful since I’ve removed X from my phone but still want to peer inside on occasion (a few people whose posts I value refuse to move to Mastodon and I don’t want to use Threads or Bluesy), so this is pretty useful. The ads have become so obnoxious that being able to just have “Following” open without hassles feels refreshing.

Refuse? Or tried and it was so complicated it didn’t work?

If you can use Twitter and email, you're capable of using Mastodon.

Tell that to the folk who are still on Twitter…

I can’t. I deleted my account when it went sideways.

"Capable of" isnt the same as "is willing to".

My feet are capable of walking 100 miles. I’m still not going to do that.

It’s been ~three years since the last try, but I’ve made multiple mastodon accounts and none of them took

[adleyjulian → dwighttk]

Are you saying this is due to not having an interest in the people posting on Mastodon or due to a difficulty in using Mastodon itself?

mastodon is beyond broken. also, network effect.

it's fine for cyber security content and furry con. besides that, everyone's on meta or xitter.
