And yes this all does mean that we have no safety net, and we've done the (proverbial) second mortgage on our house indie thing they tell you never to do and if Kitsune Tails bombs we're completely screwed πŸ™ƒ so if an SMB3/SMW like game with gay fox girls seems like your jam, please wishlist Kitsune Tails on Steam or sign up for our newsletter via kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

You don't need to use the official Mastodon apps, they're not the best way to use Mastodon. The official apps only arrived last year, and they were intended as "Fisher Price My First Mastodon" things with a restricted set of features.

Third party apps have been around longer than official ones, and include way more features. You can sign in with the same account on all apps.
