Been a heavy user of all the Twitter alternatives for a minute now and I gotta say Mastodon is my favorite. There are definitely some features I’d like to see here (like quote posts and a DM inbox), but the community on Mastodon seems to have the best vibe and there are so many smart techies that it’s been the most helpful for finding sources.
@taylorlorenz I'm a fan of https://elk.zone , as #elk gives me a clean, functional, dead easy to use interface for #mastodon , without ads or pushed content, along with a nighttime mode that's easy on the eyes, while also reducing energy consumption on laptops and portable devices.
When people say Mastodon's UI is a mess, I have to explain that ONLY Mastodon intentionally & inherently allows you to change the UI as you please. The Big Boys want to force their toxic experience on you.
@aks#feditips Also, third party clients are often much more featureful than the official, even for mainline or close-to-mainline Mastodon. I can personally vouch for #elk for web and #tusky for Android. :Blobhaj:
If you're a small/medium business and struggled with log collection and searching for a Windows environment, then you should take a look at Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's open source LME tool.
This is a collection of instructions, GPOs, and #ELK that walk you through log forwarding, collection and searching. This is a really great resource!
Grad gelesen: angeblich hat Mastodon eine total große und aktive science-community. Das ist, äh, interessant. 🤔 Ich such die nämlich buchstäblich seit Monaten.
I really wish there was a way for #PWA to open links in the default browser instead of the browser I used to install them with…
#FirefoxFocus doesn't have PWA support (understandably), but one feature I love about native #Mastodon clients is that all the random links I click on get opened in a privacy respecting browser.
I still haven't found a native #iOS app that's as good as #Megalodon, so I'm sticking to #Elk and #Phanpy there and yeah… 😅
Has anyone else noticed weird spacing issues using emojis with @elk?
Lately, whenever I use native emoji picker (Android or Windows), it inserts the emoji one character to the left of where I inserted it?
Whereas, if you use the #Elk's picker, it's fine. 🤷
