#twittermigration

Get ready for a flood of new users. This will be fun. 😂😎

“Since Musk took over he has set about dismantling everything that made Twitter valuable — making it his mission to drive out expertise, scare away celebrities, bully reporters and — on the flip side — reward the bad actors, spammers and sycophants who thrive in the opposite environment: An information vacuum.”

Hi: @twittodon and @tweepsmap
@Luca -->

How bad is this for your matching tools for #twittermigration

I assume fatal, but hope I'm wrong. 🤞

https://twitter.com/tchambers/status/1641244432669310976

Wow 🔥 -- the @maystodon organizing group is on fire! 🔥

This is a "hit them where it hurts" #TwitterMigration May campaign - when the advertisers all do their choices on buying - and the group account is now up to 94 people!

#MayStodon is getting its mojo going!

➡️ If you are on Twitter still, join @maystodon to lend a hand helping move your friends over here!

@TexasObserver
Mastodon now has a network effect success story.

Maybe now more journalists (the real kind) will leave the birdsite and come here.

SHARE THE NEWS!!

#TwitterMigration

With things somehow getting even worse on the birdsite, I'm gonna poke again at getting retro.pizza added to some of the server directories.

We've got plenty of room to grow! Invite your friends! #TwitterMigration #MastoMigrate #AdminLife

Anyone new to Mastodon or coming from the #TwitterMigration, remember to use relevant hashtags liberally! It's how people find you when they're searching for a topic, and how you can find others! #feditips

I admit to feeling a certain vindictive glee thinking about all the people coming from Twitter, where they just couldn't be bothered to use alt text on their images, and getting a rude wakeup call, lol. And yes, it's a little bit easier here, but Twitter does have the option, and it's not all that different. #TwitterMigration

If the reason I'm getting all these #RateLimited warnings is because while I've not posted much for a couple of weeks my average is relatively high since joining, and I've been forced to cut back because of a new wave of #TwitterMigration refugees, I'd be delighted.But if that's not the reason, what is going on?

Newbies!
Searching by hashtag is #Mastodon's secret weapon. Also, helps you find interesting people to follow. #TwitterMigration

Just did another, "come join me on Mastodon!" post on Twitter. I don't know if it'll do any good, but I live in hope. #TwitterMigration

Lol. You know your business is going great when paying customers are embarrassed to admit to subscribing 😂

#SpaceKaren #TwitterMigration

Part of me is excited for the influx of new members. More new friends to make, and a grater chance of reconnecting with old ones! Part of me is concerned though. Mastodon has a different vibe than Twitter, and I worry that the more people move here, the more they might want to turn it into Twitter. #TwitterMigration

Logging off this for a day, y'all would make a badger's blood boil. Please donate a book to your nearest American or #twittermigration walloper, I'm aff.

You can tell #twittermigration is well underway with the absolute legion of total wankers swarming daily to masto

Why would you leave twitter to ruin this place when you already have a wasteland? Are you so venal?

Pour info, les nouveaux comptes affluent toujours sur Mastodon. On a un flux plutôt régulier de presque 2000 nouveaux comptes par heure, depuis environ deux semaines.

Alors qu'en période calme, c'est plutôt 150 ou 200.

I cannot fathom EVER using #Twitter again for genuine conversation. It feels sincerely impossible.

Whether someone misunderstanding and jumping the gun, politics lacking thorough thought, or people who outright choose to be upset, I cannot take it anymore.

I spent many years on that platform through my youth. I am certain it left me with damage. No, that is not a joke. #TwitterMigration

I was looking for something else, when I discovered, yet another, #Mastodon Help page. Just in case you're new @Ankian4 to this place?

This one is called SWITCHING FROM TWITTER TO MASTODON
https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/switch-twitter-mastodon
It will tell you how to create an account (you've gotten this far) and how to find people, and do things, different from before

#Tips #Fediverse #Help #TwitterMigration

For those who are new to Mastodon, and are struggling to get started, here is a blog with lots of tips/tricks/info written by @grammargirl.

One other point to understand, is to search (top left) for hash tags that might help. eg.
#GettingStartedonMastedon
#MastodonHelp
#TwitterMigration

Also use hash tags of your favourite interests, eg.
#CatPics, #MotoGP, etc,

Finally, boost/share this post for others (using the circular arrows at the bottom of the post).

@ketan
Why are you still on Twitter? You're just providing legitimacy and data to Musk's disinformation project.

Move your people somewhere safe and leave.
#TwitterMigration

@mdmrn @feditips @FediFollows Also,dear #Newbies #Mastodon isn’t like #Twitter you’ll see no ads but it’d be enormously helpful to “toss a coin to “the Witcher” If it helps to think of the #admins as Geralt well...what ever works, cause THEY are what keeps this working & they’re doing an amazing job. They keep the gears running & the monsters at bay. Make sure it’s your server #instance that you tip & not just Mastodon. 🥰 #twittermigration

#TwitterMigration

For the newcomers to #mastodon via the latest #twittermigration , welcome! You will find a diverse group of people here, all looking to find their new tribe. Help people out and use #hashtags in your posts on the interests you want to find. That is how we find each other.

Favorites(Likes) do not affect the algorithm because there is none! Liking a post is purely an expression of appreciation, and we all like getting them!

Boosting is retweeting.

And Bob's your uncle! Have fun.

Friendly reminder, if you still have an account over on #twitter, we recently got some dopey news about check marks and manipulating your "For You" feed, but please dont forget about SMS two factor authentication being disabled.
If you were still using SMS #2FA, now would be a REALLY good time to look into an authenticator app or get a hardware key.
I'll be taking my first spin with a YubiKey soon. I'm sure other folks across the fediverse have some solid options to recommend too.

h/t @DaefByrns for suggesting the yubikey!

#furryfandom #twittermigration

Welcome, new people! I'm so glad you're here.

I wrote a blog post to help people get started on Mastodon, and the second half will help you get more out of the site.

Since there's no algorithm here, you have to follow a lot of people to populate your feed, and it helps to use hashtags.

It takes a little while to get going, but this is now my favorite social media site. It's worth the bit of effort!

With another round of #TwitterMigration bound to happen, I figured it'd be a good time to get this information out there again for others to see!

iOSDev.Space is a Mastodon instance that is a safe and happy place for everyone.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask myself or @heyjaywilson. While the name is iOSDevSpace, we welcome people from all walks of life to post about the things they love and enjoy!

#Mastodon #iOSDevSpace

@donmelton Hi there! Thanks for the boost on my #twittermigration post! How’d I come across your radar, if I may ask?

@TEG @scottishwaddell
Also, be sure to #hashtag the hell out of things, and follow hashtags. Follow back accounts that follow you, who have posts that you enjoy.

That's the only "algorithm" here, and I've been pleased with how it has worked so far.

#Newbies #TwitterMigration

Oh, we should probably get ready for another spike in new signups all over the fediverse after this. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1640502698549075972 #TwitterMigration

Shoutout to @Gargron for really sticking up for his principles and avoiding the VC funding trap. 💪

@davetroy Exactly, so…Dear #Newbies #Mastodon isn’t like #Twitter you will see no ads but it would be enormously helpful to “toss a coin to “the Witcher” If it helps to think of the #admins as Geralt well...what ever works, cause THEY are what keeps this working & they’re doing an amazing job. They keep the gears running & the monsters at bay.
Make sure it’s the server #instance you’re actually using that you tip & not just Mastodon in general. 🥰 #twittermigration

At the very least, we should continue to give all new #Mastodon users from the #TwitterMigration a warm welcome. I think this time around we can help even better by pointing at the new third party apps.

#Mammoth might be a good pick for new, non-tech savvy users. It’s also free, so no barriers there.

#Ivory or #Wooly for those wanting a smooth #iOS experience (but requires a subscription). But #IceCubes is a good free alternative to try as well.

It will be interesting to see if a new #TwitterMigration wave will start because of the changes to #Twitter for verified users, and companies.

How many are willing to pay to stay verified? How long is it trustworthy for key figures? And what kind of divide will it generate, as #TwitterBlue users are prioritized with their comments, are the only ones featured in the “For you” tab and able to use polls?

Will the move to #Mastodon follow the same pattern, a big wave, with a small part sticking?

@caseynewton
If the room you're in fills with Nazis, conmen and crazies, most people would leave.

What is wrong w journalists and other Twitter users - not enough Nazis yet?

"I think it’s fine to continue using Twitter... But, if you’re going to do so, then I think you have the ethical obligation to mess with Elon Musk a bit." @davekarpf

My Twitter account remains private and dormant, especially since search has become completely unreliable, but Karpf's #ReversePokemon Twitter Challenge is something I could see checking in for a couple of times/week. Gotta block 'em all!

So, what's new, #Mastodon? I've been absent for a bit, other than the occasional joke.

I'm wondering if / hoping we'll see another wave of #twittermigration at the beginning of April when #elonmusk changes things again? There are still a few people I follow who haven't made the jump to a different platform yet. It's a little frustrating.

This is pretty neat: https://fedifeed.herokuapp.com/

Basically a "for you" feed based on your #Mastodon timeline, with an algorithm that you control the parameters of.

The best part? It doesn't cost $8 and it pisses off #ElonMusk.

#twitter #twittermigration #foryou #fyp #algorithm #fedifeed #elon #twitterblue

So #Twitter is going down like the #titanic but a good chunk of that userbase will go down with the ship as #ElonMusk is thrashing into multiple icebergs.

🚨 So @spreadmastodon and everyone that has just done or encouraged a #TwitterMigration or the past #joinmastodonday: 🚨

Grassroots folks are organizing our next push to get Twitter folks to make the jump to #Mastodon in the first weeks of May!

With more people doing the #TwitterMigration and probably more to come over the next several weeks, I wanted to remind folks that https://dmv.community is a regional instance serving those in the #DMV #DC #WashingtonDC #Maryland #Virginia area! We just made some upgrades a couple of months ago so we have plenty of room for growth. We have a great local timeline of news, events, and commentary, and it's a safe place to call home on the #fediverse.

Check out the server rules on our About page (https://dmv.community/about) and have a look at our wiki to see what else we offer (https://wiki.dmv.community).

Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions or any problems migrating! 🙂

With the great #TwitterMigration happening, I figured it'd be a good time to get this information out there again for others to see!

https://AllThingsTech.social is a new Mastodon instance that is a safe and happy place for anyone and everyone.

One unexpected change to my information diet since moving here (initially not by choice due to the lack of news content here) is replacing getting daily news from social media with going back to getting it from Google News. No disreputable junk sources, no blatant misinformation, no algorithmic ragebait advantage, no anger-inducing replies sections underneath everything, no third-hand shares with deliberate reframing of the details to suit the sharer's agenda… #TwitterMigration

@leigh Another funny side effect of the #TwitterMigration is this: now that most friends and many colleagues have left that service for this one, my feed on #Twitter is about 90% threads suggesting one way or another to attract followers and build an online platform. And they all end with, "If you liked this thread, you'll love my newsletter..."

It's off-putting.

@VPS_Reports
Twitter is unsafe disinformation

All efforts should be on getting everyone to move

Finally, Elon Musk is making Mastodon more and more attractive! 😍
- "For you" tab will only show content produced by subscribers.
- Only subscribers will be able to vote in polls

With the #Twittermigration, so many good posts are lost because people don't know yet the main differences.

1. You get much more #boosts and feedback if your posts are inclusive for people with sight impairment = if they have #ALTText https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-make-posts-more-accessible-to-blind-people-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

2. #Hashtags are the glue. The search works with hashtags, not words. People subscribe to their favourite hashtags. Hashtags mean community by topics. https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon/

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.

Ok, Folks, let's get ready for the next wave of the #TwitterMigration

Under this modification, users will only be presented with tweets from those who pay for the check mark. One solution would be to follow the accounts you enjoy, ensuring you use the “following” feed.
The other solution? Come to #Mastodon!

I must say, the #ElongatedMuskrat is doing a fabulous job of destroying the #birdsite

Can y'all just stay here this time? #Twitter #twittermigration #twitterblue #twitterexodus

Where have other bicycle enthusiasts here on Mastodon been posting video they want to share? I know the preferred practice is to post elsewhere and link here (a practice for which I'm grateful). YouTube seems a natural choice, but it doesn't seem ideal for quick twenty or thirty second clips.

Where else is good?

#BikeTooter #TwitterMigration #mastodon #VideoSharing

Of the folks I interacted with on the bird site, I'm noticing these migration patterns:

* #security peeps have mostly moved over here, primarily to infosec.exchange and a few to hachyderm or self-hosting
* dev & #FOSS folks have migrated en masse, primarily to hachyderm and self-hosting
* science fiction friends have mostly made the jump
* journalists are a mix - lots of folks cross-posting and lots still posting "write-only" over there, but lots still engaging too
* my #LGBTQ peeps are active in both places
* disability advocacy friends are still over there; a few #ADHD peeps are over here
* DEI type folks have depressingly mostly not moved here, but to LinkedIn
* founders & VCs have almost entirely _not_ moved
* housing/urbanist types mostly haven't moved, especially Canadians

Curious how that lines up with what others are seeing, especially among groups I haven't listed (those happen to be the groups I personally interact with – curious about your personal equivalents!)

#twittermigration #fediverse

@jon I wonder how this will change with the #twittermigration this would have likely been 90% I hate ads only a few months ago all ready.

Nobody is keeping Twitter afloat at £8 month.
The real funders are Musk and his dirty money friends.

Twitter is unsafe and people just need to leave
#TwitterMigration

OK, :fediverse: #Fediverse hive-mind. I'm working on #TwitterMigration research on higher reach individuals on Twitter that have already migrated to the Fediverse, and have not left #Twitter... at least not yet.

Am looking for accounts on Twitter that have about 500K followers and higher and are also here.

▶️ Am I missing any accounts?

Boost this around to help share it, want to make this as complete as I can. Thanks!

Here is who I have so far: 👇
