Ratings and Reviews
It’s absolutely non-toxic here! Yay!!!!
I have been on Mastodon for about a year now, using different instances with different profiles. And every instance that I have played around them, I have found nothing but positivity, mind blowing creativity, lots of friendly Neurodivergents, and an atmosphere that is upbeat and helpful, unlike the negativity, the intolerance, and the oneupmanship to be found on Eeeeks, formerly known as Twisted, and on Blechbook. I haven’t been on any instances where you experience homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, misogyny, Islamophobia, Christian nationalism, extremism of any kind, or just plain undirected hate, unlike the big boys. Your kids can’t even be safe if you make sure they join a good instance with great moderators/administrators. The ones to which I belong do not tolerate hate and negativity of any kind, and the most that show other than PG-rated content automatically use NSFW warnings.
Good but
I like this app the most out of the iOS clients I've tried so far. However, there's no way to upload a new icon or header image and that's super annoying. I have the option to save my own icon or even use markup on it (???) but not to upload a new one. Very weird. Another issue is that most of the time (probably 70%) when I go to another user's profile, the app force quits. Doesn't matter what instance the user is on. I also just noticed, when I am able to view another user's profile and I tap on their Followers or Following list, the app will only show me users on the same instance as me. This is the weirdest thing. I want to see everyone my friends are following, not just users on the same instance as me. This happens even if my friend whose Followers list I'm viewing isn't on the same instance as me, which is just weird. I looked everywhere for a setting on this issue since I didn't see this occurring on any other client but I don't see one anywhere. I do like that I can change the app icon but it seems weird to have that option when I can't even change my own profile icon.
Ice Cubes is good
This app is good, it’s alive and in constant development. I just brought up the iPad app, and it was totally synced up to date with the phone app. This is what we need in a client! Also, amazing to me, what a good job job the captioning is in describing photos you post. This is a thing on mastodon, to always provide a caption for the visually impaired to be able to know what you have posted. The captioning is SO GOOD that it made me wonder why the visually impaired person wouldn’t have a captioning capability as good. But then I realized it does pause a bit. And also, I can usually improve the caption slightly & make it more human. So. … that’s photos.
There is a new thing called hashtag groups. I have no idea how to use it, yet, but look forward to learning. The magnifying glass search icon leads to something called “explore”, but does not seem to let you actually search the timeline. I know that’s on the list, though!
Thank you, creator of Ice Cubes App! Much appreciated!!
