I've never used TweetDeck but there is the Control Panel for Twitter, which makes it usable. It can auto-block all the bluechecks with under a million followers, hide the "For You" tab, block ads, and restore the old Twitter branding.

Unfortunately the main reason I use Twitter is not the platform itself, but the public figures that are on it. Mastodon (mostly) doesn't have that, though there is a trickle of some coming over.

Yeah same for the content. I use it for economic news primarily and while I'm starting to cultivate it with other means most of it is still on twitter.

Now that I think about it, since I don't interact on twitter I could make do with cross platform posting bots. Will need to spend some more time digging into mastodon this week.
