With Twitter on it's MySpace trajectory, I have started to see more and more Mastodon posts (whose ideology I support with much fan fare) but honestly I think that it won't see much adoption outside of niche groups and techies just because of it's ugly UI. The Achilles heel of open source projects...<p>Sample size is low, but everyone whom I ask outside of my tech circle says that they prefer Twitter's UI because Mastodon looks kinda clunky or just ugly. And seems like some Mastodon users also agree[1]. As such, I wanted to see what the sentiment on HN is, that is, do you like Mastodon's UI?<p>[1]: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/19571
I use <a href="https://github.com/elk-zone/elk#readme">https://github.com/elk-zone/elk#readme</a> for Mastodon and it's so close to <a href="https://typefully.com/minimal-twitter" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://typefully.com/minimal-twitter</a> I sometimes mix them up. Elk says it's 'alpha release' but I've used it for months without issue.
