I celebrate Tucker Carlson for his speech on Twitter. I love it how he serves truth and real questions to the public. MSM and the establishment won't like it. It will be their end. The times are changing. Is this the new short wave radio under the blankets?

Geht es bei Twitter aufwärts, wie Elon Musk zuletzt behauptete?

Nein, wie interne Daten zeigen. Im Gegenteil: Die Werbeeinnahmen brechen weiter ein. Musk sieht darin eine Verschwörung.

A screenshot of a Tweet from the ELON ALERTS Twitter account which states:

Elon Musk liked a tweet from The Redheaded libertarian

The Tweet that Musk liked states:

It's a cult.

And below that it includes a highly-transphobic video of flag ceremonies from Nazi Germany superimposed or alongside rainbow flags flying in New York City.

Alle paar Wochen schaue ich mal auf #Twitter vorbei und weiß schon nach wenigen Tweets und Minuten, weshalb es gut war und gut tat, dort die Segel zu streichen. Dennoch bemerkenswert, wie viele dort noch aktiv sind – und sich noch ziemlich verblendend dafür rechtfertigen. 🤔

Moin #Mastodon und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Mittwoch. Blick auf den Park vor meinem Hotel, aber vom gestrigen Dienstag.

Ich starte nun ein letztes Mal auf die #rp23 wo all die, die sich in einer Tour ueber #Twitter aufregen, genau diese Plattform nutzen (also Twitter) um ihrem Frust Luft zu machen.

Speaking of blocking, I used to see some people ask on #Twitter why they were blocked by accounts with which they never interacted. I can’t speak for others bc sometimes it’s a group block, but for me it’s probably bc I saw a person’s response under a tweet and concluded I never wanted to be reminded of that person’s existence ever again.

I think we are forgetting that on Mastodon #hashtags are king.

Change practice; open or follow tabs based on hashtags searches & one can see all #toots that have it.

We had Stockholm syndrome by the likes of #twitter where we are made to do things a certain way.

Once you understand & use hashtags search becomes useful.

Expecting perfection from #mastodon is wishful thinking.

Toots having a #hashtag from allowed server can be found via search & follow.

Fiel mir jetzt doch leichter als gedacht, auch wenn paar liebe Menschen und die #Agrar-Bubble nicht wirklich umgezogen ist.
Aber habe hier so viele nette neue Interaktionen gefunden und wenn ich ehrlich bin haben die letzten Twitter-Aufrufe nicht wirklich Freude gebracht...

So after a long meeting The CEO, the CTO and myself (CSO), have submitted change proposal to the board this is the answer :

"The board after a vote (9 vote on 10) accept the proposal the company will now due to this result officially remove itself from twitter since we do agree on the following statement of the proposal "Twitter toxic user-base do not match anymore with our company values".

So as result of this choice the temporary pause of ads on twitter after musk takeover become permanent.

With Reddit users planning to do a protest, while it’s understandable, but I don't see it changing things as the admins can simply demote mods who partake in the protest or make the methods of the protest ineffective. There is already some instances with this as a developer of an replacement API gets banned from Reddit or the Reddit admins publicly shaming Apollo.

Users of Reddit along with Twitter users need to realize the writing is on the wall for corporately run centralized platofrms. Twitter's descent into “Truth Social" and banning third-party clients along with Imgur banning NSFW and automatically deleting anonymous uploads after a certain period of time is the canary in the mine. Things will get worse for centralized platforms.

If you create content on a platform that is corporately run, you don't have full control of the content you post there. After all, it's in the big platform's interest to use your content for profit. Also, since they have a money making motivation, they can change the rules, even if they are unpopular or even do a rug pull.

As mentioned in my viral toot, it's important to own the space you create content on like your own blog/website or setting up your own forums, or use social platforms that are not profit motivated, but social networking as a utility like the Fediverse. We need to look past these centralized platforms and host things ourselves and get on the fediverse.

It's only going to get worse for centralized platforms as VC funding dries up with raising interest rates. The owners of big platforms are going to make more changes that users won't like. No matter how much protesting they do, the owners of these centralized platforms aren't going to change their minds. The only way you can stick it to them, is self-host or use non-profit driven platforms and move to the fediverse.

Tonight, every fifth tweet on #twitter is a sponsored ad.

Not coincidentally, I'm blocking the poster of every fifth tweet.

Musk is getting desperate after acknowledging ad revenue is down by more than 50%. I can't imagine a brand wanting to be seen as a sponsor of the trainwreck, but I'm happy to keep blocking to send a signal. I still hope for a better future on Twitter, but I'm not optimistic.

▫️ " Stripped of our labels, most people turn out to be easy to like. (Irshad) Manji argues this might be the best way out of our polarised age – not to look for purities in others, but pluralities. We are all more than one thing"

▫️ "In these days of algorithmic overlords, getting to meet people whose politics, economics, experiences or general demographics don’t neatly match your own feels as liberating as it is rare"

▫️ "... the first of many open conversations. The sort I suspect most people crave"

#Twitter を見ていたころは(昨年11月まで)情報のライブ感をエンジョイしていたと思います。

イーロン・マスクの私物にTwitter がなって行く過程で、彼のやり方、立ち位置が前から気に入らないこともあり、マスクのお世話になるのはまっぴらと言うことで、Twitterを離れ #Fediverse の方でお世話になることに。

おひとり様インスタンスで誰の世話にもならず、しかも色々な情報は入って来る環境で、自分も発信を続けて、これを続けようと思っています。

Fediverse にもっと、人が来て、それぞれが色々な情報を発信すれば、それだけ住みやすい空間になりそう。

イーロン・マスクをなんとも思わない人には依然Twitter は価値があるのだろうと思います。

Fediverse の皆さんの投稿に期待しています。
