#T2
I know Mastodon has gained plenty of traction and attention, but I recently got my invitation to #t2, created by former Twitter employees. Has anyone tried it yet? Thoughts?
DAY 17: Favorite film sequel.
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day." It's possible I had not yet seen the first film in its entirety when the sequel came out; just piecemeal on TV. But, this didn't matter, as T2 stood on its own while achieving the rare feat of surpassing its predecessor. Amazing effects that still don't look dated, great cinematography, a solid story, and a perfect cast...any one of those are almost unheard of in an action movie, and T2 has everything.
As a non-US citizen, I'm thankful beyond belief for the existence of the #UrbanDictionary. 🙏 It already educated me when there was some debate on calling #Bluesky posts "skeets", and today I learned about "Netflix and Chill" over at #T2. 😂
Ich hab einen Account bei t2-social! 👍
Google-Veteran Gabor Cselle, von 2014 bis 2016 Mitarbeiter bei Twitter, arbeitet da an einem, wie er sagt, besseren #Twitter. Derzeit nennt er es #T2, er hat den Domainnamen t2.social dafür gekauft. Nicht das #Mastodon hier für mich nicht ok wäre, nein, ich finde es hier schon ganz toll, aber an so einer ganz neuen Geschichte teilhaben ist schon auch irgendwie cool!👍 (und natürlich eine nur 4-stellige Usernummer 😎, gebe ich zu 🤣 )
Both #Bluesky and #T2 provide users with the *option* of not including "link previews" (which may include attached images) with posts. This avoids the need to include (for example) cat photos to supersede random link target page images. (While I realize Leela is much loved, photos do use bandwidth and other resources, and link previews to a large number of followers can effectively be a denial of service attack on the target site due to so many instances trying to fetch at the same time).
While #Twitter has never provided this useful option, #Google+ did.
#Mastodon should be user and site/instance friendly, and provide this option. -L

Fehlt nur noch einen #Bluesky Account 😂.
If #Bluesky or #T2 wants to dominate the #SNS space, they should market / invite people from the world's Number 1 social network consumer since #Friendster: #Filipinos / #Philippines.
@allenholub @GeePawHill "Social Media" should be a means of communication and interaction between humans. Not a business!
Also take a look at T2's privacy policy and t&c.. Most Importantly it's closed source for profit platform.
Platforms I’ve tested so far:
#Mastodon - I like it here. The community I found/built during the World Cup was good to me.
#T2 - I like it here. Calmer, opposite of s-posting. Con - centralized but we’ll see how it evolves for experience.
#BlueSky - free for all which can be fun at times. Winning some big names from TW. Feels familiar.
#Post - nah. Not for me.
#Nostr - nah. Not for me.
#Substack Notes - immediately no after that one interview.
😵💫
Sociotechnically, new networks like #t2 and #Bluesky are ridiculously interesting to watch. You see evolving cultures that are negotiated on a daily basis. When the first bad apples arrive, new platforms face their acid test. Will it be for the good or for the bad? Either way, it's fascinating to be at the outset of something new-ish. Let's enjoy the fun of those innocent early stages!
So how many new ideas can you possibly give a genuine spin? For now, #Bluesky and #Mastodon remain the most interesting players to me due to their underlying protocols (ATP, ActivityPub) and the ideas baked therein. Anyway, if you happen to be on #t2, join me. Screaming into the void together is double the fun!
@atomicpoet I’ve literarily tried every new platform since Twitter & Pownce.. most recently #Post, #Nostr, #Bluesky, #Substack Notes and even #T2. While BlueSky seems to be the most intuitive coming from Twitter (along with Substack and Post) none of these platforms can compete with #Mastodon when it comes to interaction and overall culture.
What @harrymccracken learned by trying 6 #Twitter alternatives
"These upstart social networks offer havens for the Musk-adverse. I’m glad they exist, even if it’s unlikely they’ll all be around forever.
[#Mastodon] is by far the most fully realized #TwitterAlternative. [...] This is the first social network I’d turn to as my refuge if remaining on Twitter becomes untenable."

Controversial opinion: #Mastodon is a stopgap until a true #Twitter alternative comes along.
This might also be why other people are more skeptical, as they anticipate to hop more than once if they’d try Mastodon. Which along the way might cause potentially more loss of followers / friends.
A true alternative could be #BlueskySocial, #T2, whatever #meta is cooking etc. We’ll see when it reaches a critical mass / velocity.
#T2 è un'alternativa a #Twitter che si propone agli utenti delusi dal #birdsite, anche con un sistema di porting della spunta blu
Per chi fosse interessato:
- si tratta di una piattaforma a invito
- la loro #privacy policy non è quella di #mastodon. Per esempio non sono esclusi tracciamenti e condivisione di dati tramite #cookies
Due aspetti difficili da condividere per chi sostiene trasparenza, apertura, riservatezza
I strongly recommend signing up on the #T2 waiting list. Trust me on this. And, no you don't have to leave #Mastodon! - https://t2.social/about

@Bringiton Sure, makes sense right? Go from one shitty place to another. Totally. Server me ads and algorithms all day……
I’ll stick with Mastodon. It's twitter like, and I can follow whomever I want, and things I'm interested in. And most everything I'm interested in is now over on it.
I just want to be idgaf enough to go up to someone and say “I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.” #T2

Not seeing any benefit in joining one of the new #Twitter knockoffs like #Post, #Spill or #T2 — much rather put my energy into #Mastodon — #opensource, #decentralized and little chance for some pathetic, egotistical, narcissistic #billionaire to take it over!

Steven Levy’s take on T2. A startup aiming to recapture Twitter circa 2007.
"T2 faces startup competition from Mastodon, Countersocial, Post, Hive Social, and more. All of them have different twists on a short-form social network.”

'Cselle wants to roll back the clock as if all that never happened. “It’s kind of retro,” he says. “Remember what Twitter felt like in 2007 when it was real people sharing things from their life and not airbrushed Tiktoks?”' - @stevenlevy
I like that other people are exploring how to replace Twitter. At the same time isn't Mastodon already taking us back to a simpler time with added benefits of #Fediverse integration?
I feel like any service that doesn't tie into the Fediverse is a regression from the perspective of their users' control over their relationships with their connections, at the very least.

I've been loosely tracking several social platforms and protocols that are either in #development or are out there and people have migrated to from the #birdsite:
* #Mastodon
* #Post.news
* #Hive
* #Nostr (now funded by ex-tweep )
* #T2.Social (ex-tweep)
* #Spill-app.com (ex-#tweep)
* #Spoutible
* #Bluesky
Right now, Mastodon is the only one that fits as a daily driver for me, mainly due to network effects -- nearly everyone I know came here, and there are so many interesting people & posts.
A Look at the Gold Rush to Become the New #Twitter.
“Amid the dysfunction comes an increasing number of alternatives vying to lure Twitterati. Some were created out of the ashes of Twitter, while many are getting a fresh start after languishing in the shadows for years. Here’s a look at the alternatives for those seeking a Plan B, and how they stack up against the Blue Bird.”

@robbutler @ashley_barnard_ I hadn't heard about #T2 before. Mind you if it is proprietary then it may just be a matter of time till it goes off the rails too.
Email is a federated system too. And, yes it was easier when everyone was on AOL, that just doesn't last.
A few more updates for the day.

@BitchinRob: Hey, welcome to the Fediverse!
Wow, that's a huge number of cars! Great to see two #BX, a #Visa, a #T2 and an early, still #aircooled #T3 in that list. :-)
I assume you don't still have all of these cars and motorhomes. 😉
Can't really imagine to change neither my car nor my #motorhome that often. (I own my #2CV since 1993 and my motorhome since 2011. 😎)
