The concept of not using [some app/service here] ONLY because it's centralized is a strange concept for me. And I say this as a huge open source guy.
I'm in between worlds. I use a lot of FOSS and FLOSS apps and services, but still many good ones are paid and proprietary. You should always own your data if possible, but not everything is perfect in this world. And will not ever be.
I'm happy to support a company if the thing they create is otherwise useful, healthy, ethical and reasonably priced. #Apps#OpenSource#FOSS#FLOSS
#MetaText app is no longer maintained. It looks like it's still available on the store and was still working.
If you're using the app I'd seriously consider moving to a new app and revoking access to MetaText given any future discovered vulnerabilities have no means to be reported or resolved.

It's a whole collection of simple, open source Android applications and they are truly wonderful. An absolute joy to use. They each replace one of your core Android applications, remove all the telemetry and bullshit and give you a very usable, lightweight alternative. I love each and every one of them. They also have a consistent look and feel by default.
#PlasmaMobile news for April: 3 new #apps, PowerPlant, MarkNote, and OptiImage land in Plasma Mobile; Tokodon invites you to explore #Mastodon; NeoChat helps you organize events through #Matrix with #location sharing; and much, much more.
Watch Duty kept me super well-informed about #wildfires in California last year. Now it's expanding its coverage — not just to Oregon as I first heard, but throughout the western US.
Posted in German this morning, that surely many people are leaving #Mastodon early after signing up because the Web-UI doesn't really look nice.
That's why I would suggest telling every newcomer not only to try out other mobile-apps, but also web-apps like #Elk, #Phanpy, #Trunks and more (see the screenshots). In addition, one could also look at other services in the #Fediverse, I especially like #Calckey.
With the diversity of fediverse services available many using a dedicated app will we see a unified app option? Or will we still need service specific apps for certain tasks. I know I don't like having a ton of apps installed on my phone, don't know how many others feel the same.
