Twitter & Mastodon Clients
I can could (earlier) be found at Twitter as IzzyOnDroid and can still (and frequently) be found on Mastodon as @IzzyOnDroid@mastodon.technology. Clients for both can be found at Google Play, F-Droid and Aptoide:

Clients for Mastodon & Pleroma
2024-11-07
Mastodon is a micro-blogging service with similar features like Twitter. But unlike Twitter, it is open-source and federated. Another intro can be found in the article Meet Mastodon or, here at IzzyOnDroid in Mastodon: friendly Microblogging; also see Privacy on Mastodon.
Pleroma is kind of a „light-weight Mastodon“ (an elephant? ). Apps working for one often also work for the other.
