You wouldn’t be able to see that debug information on the phone itself if it wasn’t jailbroken, as the GP mentioned you would need to use console on a Mac. The second screenshot is from a phone, ergo, jailbreak. Also other commenters have m

Seriously, no need for 3rd party app support, simple on-boarding of users and I can still follow everyone with Mastodon & Ivory? Sign me up. Or rather, sign up everyone I know besides me :)

Except not really, because they reversed course on that, added a bunch of new features, and continued to maintain and update it. It never had feature parity with the site, but it did get better over time.

If I measure by market cap it also looks different, but that's an equally irrelevant measurement in this case. The issue here is where the anti-trust line is drawn. Why people in the tech side never seem to understand this is beyond me

They’ve announced it will not be built into the Windows client as they would have to rewrite it for the new codebase. It’s still available for the Mac client, but they’ve essentially said they won’t be supporting it in the future.
