#TwitterMigration

This guy did 3 x 10 minute videos. They saved me months of learning when I joined in November.

This site is all about hashtags to search for topics.

But following people also works like the other site.

Setting up your browser is important (as shown in the videos).

But if you live on your phone there are tons of good apps that have the same functionality. I use Tusky for Android.

Not quite sure if this fits our literature platform but Twitter Comms now responds to press emails With 'Poop' Emoji!

"After months of silence, that's all reporters are getting from the company, Elon Musk says"

Congrats to the #Mastodon community for reaching 10M registered users spread across a federated social network of thousands of server instances!

I hope more people will join and continue to build the various communities, like: #art / #drawing / #sketch, #gaming / #videogames, #manga, #anime, #comics, #fitness and #bodybuilding 😬

This is a very long, but incredibly informative thread on how the Fediverse works.

TL;DR, mastodon is the Fediverse as much as YouTube is the entire internet, which is to say, not at all.

10,000,000 accounts now on #Mastodon & no single person or company can decide how they run or take them away. Good conversations and space for everyone else on #Twitter to join the #TwitterMigration.

Like email, everyone on every server can communicate with the other servers.

Two graphs by @mastodonusercount@mastodon.social, top one showing currently >10 million accounts and the hourly increase over time, and the bottom one showing the number of active instances (what Mastodon calls servers) and thousands of toots (what Mastodon calls posts) per hour.

Don't celebrate Mastodon racing #10million users just yet, as there was a recent beta of #Calckey which shows up as #Mastodon to this user count script, with the side effect that it's been over counting for a few days.

Apparently the dev version has already been patched and once the update rolls out these servers should stop showing up as Mastodon instances to the user count script.

(ETA: And that's leaving out that the script used by the popular count script that just passed 10m includes inactive servers, etc)

We will reach 10 million users (and more), but we haven't already!

I know this is a far cry from the number of users on Twitter, but combined with the enthusiasm and strong work of the developer community behind @Mastodon (and the recent addition of @medium signups), this really feels like a milestone.

This #sunday, I signed up to test the @ivory #macOS #Mastodon Desktop client (Ivory for Mac) through #Apple's #TestFlight.

I'm enjoying the experience. It’s like the experience I have on #iOS and #iPadOS, but has support for windowing, keyboard sequences, and more.

It is quite polished! Kudos to @tapbots! I look forward to its release!

Oh snaps #mastodon - the Mastodon Fediverse is about to hit 10,000,000 accounts! Nearly 50K/day!

I don't know what's driving this, there's been no major news, which implies this is organic momentum maybe???

Either way, welcome y'all! Please be patient finding your way around, have fun, fave, reblog, & engage often, and be a civil, decent human to each other and you'll do great!

#Twitter users who resent tiptoeing around #ElonMusk's #censorship but who nevertheless cannot take five minutes a week to post or repost something on #Mastodon to build an alternative - those people suck.

And that's it. I follow 156 accounts over there. That's a conversion rate of ~4%. I follow more "random people" over here. Probably why it feels more like a "social network" here than a wall of miniature press releases.

Friendly reminder to everyone who hasn't deleted their account on #Twitter yet, that #ElonMusk is going to deactivate your two-factor authentication today if you don't either pay him or delete your account first, opening the accounts up to #hackers.

Check out this article which makes it more clear exactly how much the new #Twitter policy is going to screw over their users, especially ones who rarely log in. If you rarely log in, you might want to think about deleting your account today like I did, or you could lose access to your account for good to either hackers or to #Elon.

There have been a few initiatives recently to do some campaigning about #Mastodon and the #TwitterMigration. March 9 was nominated for #JoinMastodonDay, and the #IdesOfMarch as #LeaveTwitterDay —and while these have generated some noise on Twitter and probably helped revamp interest on the #Fediverse, I have my doubts about the effectiveness of the latter initiative especially.

Two things going on that may be related:

2) Reddit r/Twitter is full of complaints that Twitter feeds are now not showing followed accounts, replaced by right wing politics and even porn.

Unsure who to ping #here for #admin quesions. Don't want to ping @autumn every time, but separately: is there a fixed admin address or principal to direct questions to here? Or maybe that's unnecessary after I ask here. :)
So: Were we previously not federated with counter.social, but are now? Earlier, it didn't look like people in either place could communicate. Maybe we can now? This will also be a test of sorts.

Elon Musk dreams of the #TwitterMigration refugees kicking the proverbial **** out of each other, dragging Mastodon into the gutter. That would take pressure off him.
So let's work overtime to see to it that that doesn't happen. Follow each other for what we like, and safely ignore our differences. Eventually we can hammer out agreement, differences progressively narrowed down via persuasion, or simply agree to differ. As a last resort, we can mute, unfollow or even block. #NoFlameWars!

For the first time on Mastodon, someone didn't read my name and thought I was a Kennedy.

The #TwitterMigration is complete. 😊

| guess the 6th generation Kennedy's lack the wherewithal to understand how their grandparents succefully managed politics. I thought the Kennedy's were Democrats. I always knew they were far from social civil, but to bash the Democrats is a tad out of Kennedy character.

Reminder that on the #fediverse we are the algorithm because timelines are chronological. If you think other people should see someone's post, you should boost it so it reaches other parts of the #fedi.
