What's ugly about it? Genuinely interested.

  Looks & feels like a ~2006 CMS, just not fun to use. Not to say that Twitter has advanced a lot recently, but it's still miles ahead in terms of polish.

    Soapbox is a phenomenal frontend

      Cool! This is the first time I've heard of it, though I'm new to the fediverse. Looks like the project has been super active for years: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox Also, I was pleasantly surprised that you can use https://fe.soapbox.pub/ https://fe.soapbox.pub/ to try it on your own instance. I don't mind the default Mastadon interface, but the Soapbox one is better (and actually looks a lot like Twitter). Anyways thanks!

    There’s also https://pinafore.social https://pinafore.social. Much nicer than Mastodon’s default web front-end.

  The fact that they use a "toot" button certainly doesn't help their case.
  • alwillis 4y ago
    Turns out only in the US (5% of the global population) is “toot” associated with farting.

      Even in the US I've never heard anybody in the younger generation use it

        True.
