    Great, Mastodon is really starting to be able to replace much more of Twitter now. The only thing i miss from Twitter was the local accounts I followed for info, will be a while before they all abandon and move over, but hopefully in the end.

      You can use third party frontends like Nitter on Web or Fritter/Squawker on Android (available on F-Droid) to still follow accounts for info without the requirement of having an account anywhere. With the condition that viewing is the only thing you can do.

      I left Twitter over an year ago and I use the frontends I mentioned to follow about 20 accounts for info on varied topics.

        Thank you. I left Twitter when the petulent child took over, but I lament not being able to read local emergency info. I’ll check these out.

      It also seems much higher in overall quality, at least from my limited exposure. I’m still trying to navigate and find people to subscribe to.
