I am stepping back from the #Tusky project with immediate effect.
I discovered severe lapses in how the Tusky project's donations (received via #OpenCollective) were being handled. When I reported those to the project's private "Tusky Contributors" Matrix channel the financial admins tone policed the feedback, refused to engage with the concerns I and others raised, and demanded the discussion be stopped.
There is too much detail for a thread, so please read https://write.as/nikclayton/stepping-back-from-the-tusky-project.
I heard they updated it recently (so if you haven’t tried it in a bit you could), but again I’m going off the experience of other people. I didn’t use it enough to get a feel from it.
It’s alpha software but works very well. I did not encounter any issues.
The official Mastodon app to me feels clumsy and outdated. Not a good experience at all for me. I can’t pinpoint it, though. Just my personal opinion.
Ah ok I see
