Marc Elias discovers Mastodon has an interface like tweetdeck

[BootinUp]

Marc Elias: Wait a Second... Mastodon offers a desktop equivalent of Tweetdeck. THIS is a game changer!



I'm pretty sure he is referring to the advanced web interface which is a standard option under preferences if you are using a web browser on a PC or Mac.

1. I truly need a full video of how to utilize this site, I am so confused.

There seem to be many different platforms and not sure how to use them. I would like to keep up with many different posters.

6. I made a video you can checkout. I can also

point you to other helpful links.

The video is a low budget affair but demonstrates some of what Marc is talking about.

2. It's true!

I used to looove Tweetdeck before Twitter bought and made it useless. With Mastodon I can have my multi-column interface again.

11. It's dashboard for Twitter with enhanced features

But it's useless now

4. No, the game changer is getting authoritative posters on the platform.

Until then, I don't see a reason to leave Twitter.

10. Nobody says you have to leave Twitter in order to join Mastodon

Mark Elias is an "authoritative" poster and he is on both platforms. There are many "authoritative" people on Mastodon.
