    This is fine. There will just need to be a push towards more effective mobile versions of sites. Chapo's mobile version feels slicker than 90% of apps I use and it's quicker for me to open than most apps too.

    I don't forsee this having much effect in the longterm on Fediverse's goals. Devs can build around it. I don't think anyone was under the belief that decentralised social media wouldn't come under attack as the direct threat it is to corporate tech dominance.

      The apps are just web-sites built in Electron (which is just a one-tabbed Chrome window) on Desktop. I wouldn't be surprised if the "apps" are similar.

      The only reason I use the Twitter app is because I don't want to wade through a bunch of tabs on Chrome with how shitty it is with no (non-rooted) adblocking. (And yes, I realize the native app has ads in it)
