        @ChrisMayLA6 Not a bad writeup, but the Grauniad still gives more room to nonexistent vapourware like W.

            @ChrisMayLA6 I had a chat with a friend yesterday @Lizcable who has been quiet on here ..but we are looking at developing something to make it easier for non techy folk to use Mastodon and get off the bad places. I met her via an excellent 12 Days of Twitter course she developed many years ago and we've been trying to do something together ever since but feels like it is time.. so Month of Mastodon coming soon... when we have time and headspace to meet and hatch plans!

                It's nice to see an article of this sort, and even better to see e/os mentioned as an alternative smartphone option, but disappointing to see no mention of linux or beos as alternatives for Windoze and Apple.

                    Keep me in the loop - a 12 days of (to?) Mastodon would be great.... especially if got some traction on LinkedIn where lots of ex-X folk now seem to be posted more frequently

                      @ChrisMayLA6 @urlyman A real pity that they chose to not link to Mastodon (or Bluesky), but did link to W, which doesn’t even exist yet.

                      Otherwise quite a good article, a really fast overview of options for people who aren’t already thinking about and researching alternatives. Very shareable.
