We never did a proper #introduction, did we?
Hi Fediverse, we're Thunderbird, an #opensource #email client available for free on Linux, Windows, MacOS and now on Android!
You can use Thunderbird for managing an unlimited number of mail accounts, calendars, newsgroup accounts, and RSS feeds. You can also chat using your @matrix account.
LIKES: Open standards, privacy, freedom, customization.
DISLIKES: Proprietary code.
Nice to meet you
@thunderbird Do you plan add a #Mastodon client?
@freddyrh @thunderbird That's a good question. With the rapid rise in Mastodon's popularity, this seems like a desirable feature.
@Vivaldi does seem to have begun, but so far, it's basically just a button to open your homepage, nothing more.
Jason Evangelho... now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
;-)
Not really, of course! But yeah, I think this is a major opening for Thunderbird. As of v≥100 it does Matrix, which is handy. But there's room for much more. I don't know, `libpurple` integration, say?
@lproven@social.vivaldi.net @freddyrh@mastodon.la well, remember that Mastodon is not the only (or even the best) ActivityPub implementation, and that not every other implementation shares the same client-to-server API…
