Try out the new Mastodon Layout (single-column). It's enabled for new users by default. Existing users can change it here: https://social.privacytools.io/settings/preferences/appearance (Disable advanced web interface)

**New Default Layout**: Single-column mode (instead of Tweetdeck style), can be reverted in user preferences.

Hello #fediverse!

I am person behind FreeTube, the private YouTube client for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

I enjoy talking about technology and privacy so my toots will mostly be about those, but there will be a good amount of toots about FreeTube as well.

I'm also looking for more people to follow! Let me know if you have any suggestions.

#Mastodon #Firefox #Addon: Simplified Federation.

Simplifies following or interacting with other users on remote Mastodon instances in the Fediverse. It skips the "Enter your Mastodon handle" popup and takes you to your own "home" instance, without entering your Mastodon handle on remote instances.
