maybe i will just figure out how to make mastodon 4.5's UI work with a mastodon 5.0 server

@ariadne or, alternatively, use a different web client ? think there's a few

i wonder how hard itd be to rip out the 4.5 one out into a standalone client

@SRAZKVT i think akkoma allegedly has a mastodon frontend although i've never seen this in practice (i tried)

@wyatt @SRAZKVT pleroma used to have mastofe really long ago, dunno if it got phased out or what
