A large contingent of webdevs seem to think that fast means “best-case fast.”

“Our web sites are fast on expensive hardware and from reliable fiber networks.”

Worst-case fast is a much more meaningful, impressive, and inclusive claim to make! Fast on low-end hardware. Fast on slow networks.

Fast on the World Wide Web—not just from a WeWork in Silicon Valley.

@markstos @zachleat at least Mastodon has that can work even in feature phone browsers but I'm not aware of a J2ME app for old feature phones yet (I'm sure it'll be made by someone since Apple II and PalmOS clients exist).

Do you want to use on the desktop?

The default website interface is excellent, and there's an optional multicolumn Tweetdeck-style "advanced" mode:

There are also many third party desktop apps:

➡️ @sengi_app - Free open source Linux, Mac & Win

➡️ @tokodon - Free open source Linux

➡️ https://tuba.geopjr.dev - Free open source Linux

➡️ @MonaApp - Mac, iPhone & iPad

➡️ @ivory - Mac, iPhone & iPad

➡️ @elk - Alternative web interface for Mastodon

@feditips @tokodon @sengi_app @MonaApp @ivory @elk and another web interface : forked on the late @pinafore - https://semaphore.social/

And also https://brutaldon.org/about for a more experience

Both in browse with no install, and open-source ! :blobcatcoffee: :blobcatfingerguns:

@SpaceLifeForm Caught a post from @praetor, saw he also recently mentioned , a low-end-browser compatible web client originally written by @carcosa. Started reading the latter’s posts, and here we are.

Yeah, forcing Mastodon to be JS-only is sucky.

Luckily, there's CLI clients like @tut and toot, and maybe (is that still a thing?)

Edit/P.S.: https://brutaldon.org is still there, but I couldn't get it to work in w3m, links, lynx, or firefox. It might just be an issue with fosstodon (or the newer versions of Mastodon), I don't know.
