@Gaby I just finished reading that. It’s good to see him highlighting this issue in this way; the executives have literally said to his face “I’m baffled” when he asked about developers being unhappy with Apple. They lied to him, and now he is able to use his voice to display the proof of that.

@SimonWoods I truly get frustrated every time I read a story like this one. This just makes apple look bad and makes me hate that I like and use their products sometimes 😅

@Gaby The good news is that that post seems to have shamed Apple into doing the right thing. Ice Cubes is in the App Store now! Of course, it shouldn’t have been so difficult…

@jayeless It’s a lovely wee app, too. Switching to it as my Mastodon daily driver.

@adders I haven’t actually tried it, because I’ve been so happy with Mastoot 😅 You’re definitely not the first person I’ve seen singing its praises, though!

@jayeless I saw that! I’m glad it worked out in the end but just as you’ve said, it should not have been this difficult

@adders It looks like a good app. The thing I can’t find is filtering. It must be there, but I feel like I tapped all the obvious things. My minimum feature wish is to hide boosts. Can you help?

@jean I think this is something you need to do from Mastodon web by going to the profile. docs.joinmastodon.org/user/mode…

@kimonostereo On social.lol, there is a filter button next to Home which I have set to show no boosts. But that setting doesn’t carry over to any apps I’ve tried, so I’ve only been using the web page. I don’t want to fiddle with setting that for each person I follow.

@jean I can’t find it either. Maybe @icecubesapp hasn’t implemented it yet?

@kimonostereo Thank you, Scott! I’ll try this for a while. It’s my main requirement for being on Mastodon. I am just used to the calm of the Micro.blog timeline now. I’m also ok with some friction. I’ve been using the social.lol website until now. It’s not ideal, but then I don’t want to spend that much time on Mastodon, separately from Micro.blog, anyway.

@jean Tusker also works on macOS if you have an M1.

@Gaby In a way, you have to work very hard and invest a lot of time, money, and effort to make it on both the App Store and Google play, but in the end they can both break your business over night.
