I’m interested in knowing what you guys are using to access this community, whether or not it’s via mobile phone or via laptop or desktop.
If accessing via a laptop or a desktop, what is your OS? Windows, MacOS, or Linux? And if Linux, what distro are you using?
If accessing via a mobile device, you can add in some details about the app you are using or if you’re using it via a mobile browser.
Of course, you guys can add more details.
Just to provide a bit of a background behind the question: I’ve had this preconception that the ones here are among the more technologically-inclined (whatever that means), and thus, I’m curious about the make-up of devices and software used to access and interact with this community.
UPDATE:
As promised, here’s a link to the compiled data (with some rudimentary stats). I will be adding more onto them this weekend (if more replies come in).
First of all, thank you to all who’ve responded. While my preconceptions haven’t been shattered, I’m also pleasantly surprised to find out non-techies, refugees from Reddit, who have jumped in to the Threadiverse despite it all. I dunno if that’s indicative of the dumpster fire that is Reddit right now, or the tenacity of those who’ve sought refuge here. Maybe both.
I will be expanding on my thoughts, and others, on a separate reply.

Using kbin as it was the first instance I signed up for. The Fediverse concept blew my mind when I first heard of it a couple of days ago. I had heard of Mastodon before but since I was barely using Twitter anymore, I didn’t feel the need to sign up. So this was my real introduction into the federation concept.
On desktop: Firefox with Tampermonkey and Stylus add-ons. Using this script for Tampermonkey, and this stylesheet for Stylus.
On mobile: Firefox with Tampermonkey (Stylus isn’t available on mobile yet). Using the script on I use on desktop, but also this one.
