I'm new here so forgive me if this has been done to death several times over already.#Android users what is your preferred client for accessing #Mastodon?So far I've tried Official client (Nice but felt a little clunky)Tusky (nice but felt a little too much like the twitter client and I want Mastodon to feel different).For want of a better word 'official' PWA, I seem to be sticking with this.The Pinafore PWA, I quite liked this - probably my next favourite after the official PWA.

@ParadeGrotesqueHmm… the only time I really questioned my choice to head outside was the day the Beast from the East hit which involved what I can only describe as the hairiest drive home of my life (even though I was in a vehicle fitted with winter tyres) in full blizzard conditions, I heard that a few hours later the local Mountain Rescue team was sent to check on the driver of a snowplough after his vehicle got stuck on the route I travelled.

@ParadeGrotesqueNYT is a pretty permissive paywall, plus five articles à month free for registered users.1/2

@ParadeGrotesqueThe two other paywalled sources I most regularly post are the FT where anything I posted I was able to see for free (one of the most permissive paywalls I know of) and English edition of Le Monde diplomatique in which case I say buy a very reasonable subscription to support some of the best journalism around (though a nicely worded PM could well get the sender a gift link through the paywall if I have any left).2/2

@ParadeGrotesqueI'm UK based ;)Generally the NYT articles I post are posted because I think that they are deserving of wider non-US audience.

@ParadeGrotesqueIf it makes you feel any better the recent post I made linking to a Le Monde diplomatique article is open access and not behind their paywall :)

1/2It seems that there is still work to be done convincing the masses that comprehensive human rights are a positive thing.Do you have an overall positive or negative view of current human rights law?https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/survey-results/daily/2025/12/10/ff83b/11/2#HumanRights #ECHR #YouGov
