@chockenberry well said! Twitterrific was my first Twitter app, back in 2010 or so, and I remained a fan until the account suspensions and blocking of Mastodon links started happening and I decided to no longer participate in what had devolved into The Chief Twat’s shit show.
Can’t wait to see what you’ll be building off ActivityPub and how it’s going to shape what people will come to expect of Mastodon!
With that out of the way: I’m sorry to hear of your personal loss! 🖤
