Finished Witcher, I enjoyed it! It’s not the best series out there, and not the worst. Main thing is that I think Henry Cavill has done an A+ job with Geralt.

What iOS apps are ppl using for Mastodon? I was using Toot! at first and really liked it, but am sad that it doesn’t seem to support a notifications count badge on the icon. Now am trying Amaroq but am curious about others. Preferably apps with strong stances against crap like Gab
