The default Mastodon Web interface does require Javascript to display properly, yes, although I don't think there's technically anything that would make it impossible to write a pure server-side site interface. It's just that no one has, yet. You don't need cookies if you're just visiting and have no account, and a couple of random instances I just prodded seemed to have no issue with my accessing their sign-up pages through TOR, so that restriction on proxies may be specific to floss.social again. In the extreme case, you can always set up your *own* Mastodon instance, which guarantees you're not going to be tracked by anyone but, well, you. If you aren't interested in replying to Mastodon posts, though, you're probably better off with the RSS feed Slávek suggested. E.
