@billgoats yes, but mainly looking for a unified timeline.
I can't even find Mastodon clients that have that, it's always only one account at the same time.

@thomasfuchs Like how Adium or Trillian used to bring together ICQ, AIM, MSN, etc into the same place?

@sean yeah tweetdeck was one of those apps that you get when designers think really hard about what people want to achieve and then make sure the apps enables that

@thomasfuchs IIRC the original Tweetdeck had this, even color-coded the accounts in the unified timeline to help you see what was what.

@thomasfuchs I love this idea, but is it even possible? Everything's a heavily-guarded walled garden now :(

@colinm Should be no problem for social networks with open protocols, such as Mastodon (and other Fediverse apps) and for BlueSky

@thomasfuchs Yeah, sorry, that's definitely true. I was more thinking about the other, really popular ones. Even if someone could unify just Twitter and (multiple?) mastodon timelines into one, that would a big accomplishment IMO

@colinm Twitter is out of the question, their API pricing is prohibitive.

@thomasfuchs yeah I'm well aware. I have a small amount of hope that someone could figure out an alternative, mostly because there are still fronends like Nitter that work. Maybe someone could hack together something for personal use? Though it will definitely become a cat-and-mouse game if it gets any kind of critical mass...
