It's a big upgrade on the antiquated official client.

Welcome! And thanks, good tip. I'll try and update it later today.

Yes, has been for maybe 48 hours now and I have seeded their popular communities.

Hey, I get where you're coming from, but I don't see this as being a 'free speech' issue. This isn't a public service that anyone is obliged to use - it's social media that I'm spending my time and money administering, and I don't want that effort to in any way spread right wing discourse, because I see it as harmful.

Similarly, even if it was a public service that we're talking about, say a national broadcaster, I don't buy into the notion that they should carry 'both sides of the story' out of a sense of 'balance', or upholding 'free speech', if the other side are nutters.

I agree. I'd like to see them host their own Mastodon and leave a forwarding address on 'X'.

I'm the admin of mine. Why? Because I enjoy doing, it's in the spirit of decentralisation, and I didn't want to risk being part of an instance that defederates from leftist instances like Lemmygrad or Hexbear. I only intend to proactively defederate from fascist and troll instances, and NSFW to reduce legal drama.

In my experience, street names, especially on major roads, often don't appear until you zoom right in - usually to the point of the road width basically filling the screen.
