🦣 Ha costado casi un mes, ya que el crecimiento de nuevas cuentas se ha ralentizado, pero #Mastodon ya estaría en el top 80 de población si fuera un país.

Según las estadísticas de @mastodonusercount y la ONU, hay más cuentas registradas que bolivianos.

El siguiente hito nos lleva a África y supera ya los 13 millones.

Próxima parada: Burundi.

79. 🇧🇮 Burundi ▶️ 13.113.000
80. 🦣 Mastodon ▶️ 12.180.620
81. 🇧🇴 Bolivia ▶️ 12.172.000

(F)Elon shares disgraced former Fox host #Tucker Carlson's pro Putin propagandist video where he blames Ukraine for blowing up #Kakhovka dam, boosting its number of views by almost 30 milion. I've known for some time that #Musk was a narcissistic scumbag with shit for brains and an absolute human garbage, but this is it for me - I have tried to use #Twitter as little as possible recently, but now I'm officially out of that shit hole ...

The best time to start your #migration the the #fediverse is as soon as possible. I've done a #twittermigration to #mastodon and or #calckey, #instagram to #pixelfed, and now #twitch to #owncast

Have people who fixated on #mainstreaming noticed that they are useless? We might get some change challenge done when they do... so please tell them thanks.

When I first joined #Mastodon last year it was different. Conversations were fuller, had more sensitivity, were more dynamic and understood subtle motives of discussion.

Then I took a break. Deleted my account. Came back last month with a new account and I keep seeing the #fediverse acting more and more like #Twittter. That was not the purpose of the large scale #TwitterMigration.

White multicultural saviors speaking over the marginalized is a toxin many of us were trying to get away from.

More thoughts on #TwitterMigration and the #Fediverse, I'm looking forward to a web that is driven by more diverse thoughts and content. Almost all major US social media companies have been US based, and thus ran US first and everything else second, I assume there has always a push of "everything USA" to everyone else. Consider this code clip from the open sourced Twitter algorithim, that prioritized English.

13) Increasingly #Twitter looks like a seedy, battered, casino property. There are plenty of adds for erectile dysfunction and bongs likely encouraging mainstream advertsiers to stay away. Or might it be the bigotry encourage by #ElonMusk under the guise of #FreeSpeech?

The #NYT is out with a story based on an internal presentation from Twitter showing a 59% decline in YOY ad revenues for April.

But alas...

I couldn't in good conscious keep an account on a site run by such a massive altright narcissistic manbaby promoting #transphobia, hate, & violence.

I haven’t heard anything about the #TwitterMigration to Mastodon since it began in November.

It seems much of the migration for the time being is to #Bluesky .

For American or Anglophone world users, Bluesky culture seems to be a direct export of Twitter culture, behavior, and discussion topics. In fact, complaining about Twitter drama is one of the biggest topics on the app.

On the other hand, Bluesky users from #Iran and #Brazil seem to be developing a more unique culture there.

"... everyone (myself included) who is still on Twitter has some hard questions to ask themselves. There is no pretending any more that Twitter is anything other than a far-right social network headed by a CEO who revels in chaos and is platforming extremism. So why are news organisations still on it? Why is anyone who considers themselves to have liberal values still on it?

"Ego is probably the main answer to that question. A lot of journalists have built up very large followings on Twitter. Nostalgia is another factor ..."

Born of a concert pianist and Navy Seal. I pursued jazz sax through childhood, then, as a young man, Architecture & the Arts. This formal education led to early career adventures in feature film production. Have been doing my own thing since 1994. From age 10, I have trained to pursue understanding of the place where mind and body intersect. #50ten40 #meditation #neuroscience #martialart #mindbody #art #artist #creator #maker #weld #tigweld #migweld #torchweld #metalsmith #fabricate #design #film #filmmaking #iatse44 #union #encaustic #architecture #permaculture #permatecture #instructionaldesign #photography #istillshootfilm #photorealism #darkroom #mindbody #learning #edutech #fedi22 #foss #floss #opensource #loq #cio #cto #author #writing #scot #clanlamont
