Mastodon on iOS is walled
Twitter is criticised for being closed for those without an account.
I think maybe it would’ve been cool if Mastodon was… open for everyone?
You're viewing a single thread.
I've noticed that a lot of the apps do that, but in a browser you can view things just fine.
Yes, same applies to PixelFed. Ice Cubes client doesn't require an account, but it crashes regularly.
I was hoping to get a better experience in the dedicated official app. There's nothing wrong with that. In a browser even twitter can be accessed without an account (even though unofficially), that's not the point. "Just go to browser" approach can be taken further: "just go to another social network".
Yeah I agree, it's a really odd thing to require an account to use the app.
