Tweetbot 6 Launches With Design Updates and Subscription Pricing

I was debating on whether to subscribe or not as I loved Tweetbot 5. Went back to the official twitter app and decided to subscribe to TB 6. Official twitter app isn’t bad, but the ads can get annoying and I find the layout a bit cramped and a bit messy.
I don’t like subscriptions that much but I don’t mind subscribing to a service that I know and trust. Compared to other paid twitter apps, at least I know API v 2 is coming to TB 6.

NOTIFICATIONS is key to getting me and full link previews with fleets. I am not paying for something when twitter is free with everything. I can side load twitter and get everything as well with no ads
There's nothing wrong to pay for a software, and there's nothing wrong to pay quite a few bucks on it.
Examples, that I purchased:
Things app: $10 - iPhone, $20 - iPad, $50 - macOS. 80$ in total.
Sketch app: $100 - one year of updates.
Any new game: $60 / $70 for a single game.
The problem isn't paying for the software. The problem is that before you bought it once, but now you need to buy it monthly.
I rarely ever see ads in the official client. The odd “recommended” tweet though. Doesn’t bother me.
Is there a better alternative? (One that isn’t part of the world’s largest data mining and person tracking company)
Oh the users are there, its just the experience is dead. I can't recommand Twitter to any one any more. All the people who used to be active on Twitter extremely lowered their activity. Now its just RSS newsreader for businesses, organization, public figures, spam, and ads. Its not pleasant
Gab.com but people hate on it saying its far right wing whatever and they are banned from App store.
There is Mastodon. Its a neat idea, basically you set up your own "Twitter" . Literally. You can buy webhosting and install it, and it will be like your very own Twitter that people can join and use. You can join other people's "Twitters" , they call them "instances" and if you have an account with 1 instance you can read and message people registered on the other instances/servers and follow them. Some of them are specialized like : tech, sports...etc.
here are some examples: https://mstdn.io/public , https://masthead.social/public ,https://linuxrocks.online/public
Apps to use: Tusky for Android seem popular, and Tootle for iOS.
As with all open sourced projects, the problem of Mastodon it lacks the final "polish" on software and lack of users.
As I said earlier, Twitter is not free— ads pay for it.
Tweetbot charges fees because there is no ad, and the team has to pay for Twitter.
I use Mastodon too and the functionality is impressive. Apps for Mastodon are all unimpressive however.
It's literally Twitter for the alt-right, so if it is banned and hated on it's for a reason.
After a day with Tweetbot 6, I’m super happy. Being able to show Twitter cards is a nice improvement over v 5, and makes 6 feel so much more complete.
Typically with Tweetbot I always go back to the regular Twitter app because TB was always so crippled by Twitter. But now I think it’s gonna be my go-to from now on.

I tried updating TB5 on my iPad and received a message that the dev has removed it from the App Store.
When I install Tweetbot 6, wil it overwrite version 5 or be added as an extra app beside version 5?
This just popped up on my phone.
Despite this, I cannot find any way to share my subscription with family.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned that but you can share the subscription to Tweetbot with your family now.
Seriously, if no ads cost $6 a year its a real cheap price. I hate subscription but this is worth it if you are a Twitter user. No hate on Tapbots.
Yes, but they don't claim that, as the CEO of it says "All is Welcome"...how real is that I don't know. From a democratic point of view, everyone should have the right to speak and express his opinion.
I am really amazed there is a group of people who basically created "Twitter" software that you can install on your own. Completely min blowing, programming is like magic to me. They are giving it away for free! mind🤯

except for the threaded replies which move them out of chronological order
It doesn't stay though, randomly you end up back on the "recommended tweets" crap and have to change it again.
