 @bd280af2 @d6e4c7e0 artists and writers need to team up and bring the mother of all class action lawsuits. A result of anything less than paid residuals for every single work sampled to every single creator whose work has been stolen would be optimal. 
 @bd280af2 @d6e4c7e0 wish I could edit on the mobile app; that starts off one thought and ends another and they're not entirely related. >.@ 
 @27823c36 @d6e4c7e0 There are better apps than the official Mastodon one, which lacks functionality. I recommend Ice Cubes if you're on iPhone. I hear Tusky is good. 
 @bd280af2 @d6e4c7e0 I've heard decent things about Tusky; Ice Cubes sounds new to me. 🤔

(the official app is definitely lacking, but what it does have mostly works, at least) 
 @27823c36 @d6e4c7e0 Well, the things that work work. But the things that are missing are missing. Such as the ability to see alt text, which is necessary if you don't want to boost images lacking alt text into the feed of people with visual impairments — which is the Mastodon equivalent of tripping up a blind person you see walking down the street. 
 @bd280af2 @d6e4c7e0 *entering* alt text isn't that great, either.
