Oli kelpo tutkimusraportti, joskin raskas lukea nykyaivoillani. Twitteristä pakoa eikun siirtymistä tarkasteltiin samaan tapaan kuin vaikka koronan leviämistä, mitä tuli infektioihin ja tartuntoihin. Kiinnostaisi varmaan epidemiologejakin? Hurja työ tuossa oli tehty ja mittavaa aineistoa analysoitu. Itse kun en Twitterissä käynyt, puuttui mahdollisuus koettaa yhdistää makrotason kuvausta mikrotason todellisiin tapahtumiin ja keskusteluihin. Kiitos kuitenkin teille, jotka suostuttelitte sitkeästi muuttoon tietopohjaisesti ja omalla esimerkillä, vaarantamatta uhrien identiteettiä. Tuollaisen ymmärsin olleen tehokkainta, mikä tietysti ei liene vaikuttamisen teorioiden vinkkelistä yllättävää.

It's pretty sad that this is still a "might". Stop. Just stop. #Twitter is gone, and the shambling zombie that is "X" is just a decaying remnant that vaguely resembles what once was. Let it go.

A request: if you're going to stop posting on the tusk site 🦣, make one final toot saying so. If I wander across your profile in my following list and you haven't posted in four months, it would be nice to know why. Don't leave us hanging.

If you've gone to greener pastures (yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion, man) then farewell and good luck. Mastodon is not for everyone!

"Few times I post on exTwitter it's to advertise the #Fedi as a general rule." @ArtBear To be honest, if someone stayed on Twitter until it became X Twitter, they have been exposed to Nazis and Toxic content to long, to be valuable here. I'd rather they didn't come here. All the people rightfully offended, who came here for #TwitterMigration last year, had principles IMO. I kept my account to prevent name stealing and impersonation. I don't even look at it, I don't have an app either; no value

Four years ago today, I joined #Mastodon. It sounded like a fun thing — a decentralized birdsite. But that was long before Space Karen forced a #TwitterMigration (or #Xodus as I guess we should call it). I logged in again about a year ago and haven’t looked back. Thank you, everyone for your likes, comments, toots, and retoots. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Rachel Karten, a social media consultant in Los Angeles, said she believes that it’s better for media companies, and all brands, to simply stay away from subreddits they do not personally operate. Each subreddit has its own norms, history and cast of personalities, and media companies participating can make it appear that they’re giving their approval.”

Oh, I missed that: A recent study in #Internet usage of Germans for the first time included #Mastodon.
It says, that 2% of Germans over 14 years use it at least once week. That would be ~1,6 Million people I guess and like TikTok in 2019 😅
3% of 14 to 49 year olds use #Mastodon at least weekly, 1% of all adult Germans daily.
For 14 to 29 year olds it's bigger than #LinkedIn & #Xing.

Any similar polls for other countries?

I can't stress enough that Elon literally told advertisers not to advertise while saying that not advertising is blackmail and that if you're uncomfortable advertising next to nazis you should "go. fuck. yourself."

Let's talk about what all this means and what he's thinking. We'll also hit on some other, actually good items, but mostly it's about Elon's idea that people literally _must_ pay him, or violate his rights:

Dear Advertisers, please oh please, take him up on this challenge! Put this asshole right out of business for good.

“What this advertising boycott is going to do is it’s going to kill the company,” he said. “And the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company. It will be documented in great detail.

Asked if the endgame would be that his large following would react against advertisers pulling funds from Twitter with a Bud Light/Target-style boycott against consumer brands, Musk replied, “They already are. Let the chips fall where they may.””

@pch @PadreSJ @dan613 exactly. I've been trying to make this point for a while. For example, Quote Tweets weren't added to Twitter until 2015, almost 9 years after it launched! lol.

Another example, from this 2010 study.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/191952/percentage-of-us-americans-who-are-aware-of-twitter/

In 2008, 5% of Americans knew about Twitter, in 2010, 87% did (more than could access the Internet on a daily basis). But only 17 million people actually had a Twitter account.

Mastodon is at about 1.6M Monthly Active Users though we have hit as high as 2.5 Million. Twitter hit 10 million MAU in 2010.

Mostly from this site - which is a bunch of Twitter sports mirrors. Some of them don't work - but most of my favourites do.

https://www.sportsbots.xyz/browse?sport=Football

Sometimes I think Mastodon folks discount our presence in a self defeating kind of way as "small" simply because BlueSky and Threads are run by 'big people' and so are assumed to be 'big'. The reality is all three "Twitter alternatives" are quite similar as far as activity. Bluesky and Mastodon are very similar in total numbers. Threads I think is a bit more of a mirage.
Here are some recent numbers, MDAU is Million Daily Active Users:

Bluesky : ~0.5-1.0 MDAU and 2 Million Total

Mastodon: ~1.2-1.5M DAU and 8-14 Million Total

Threads: ~10 MDAU and 100 Million Total

(Note the images are at different time periods so trends look different if anyone has some good resources for this let me know)

One year ago today November 18, 2022 was the Twitter Lockout, and in one amazing day a quarter million new users flocked to Mastodon. Not everyone stayed, but a great many did. We have continued to confront disruptive growth, while striving to hold onto ideals of community, kindness and respect for each other. Is Mastodon perfect? No, but today, one year later, the state of our platform is strong. Open social media is thriving.

Mastodon Migration © Nov 18,2022 @mastodonmigration An Incredible Day In Intenet History It started with the Twitter lockout. 10,000 new users per hour. A QUARTER MILLION people migrated to Mastodon in one day. The servers struggled. Remarkably, admins all over the world built up capacity in real time. New users were patient. The system held. It's running better now. There will be more hard days ahead, but people powered social media has arrived.

Honestly, I'm getting the feeling that people are looking for reasons to move off #Mastodon to one of the newfangled corporate social traps not because of Mastodon's faults, but because the People That Matter™ that didn't come to the #Fediverse during the #TwitterMigration last year are now moving to the aforementioned newfangled corporate social traps, and the ones that bet on the #Fediverse don't want to be seen as having bet on the wrong horse, so they need a “clean” exit.

Also, if anyone is curious about why #IBM got so testy about #nazis on #Twitter, here’s some fascinating reading that they fully own up to but don’t love being in the spotlight…

TL;DR - those numbers tattooed on the holocaust victims weren’t random, they were IBM inventory tracking numbers.

Good morning Mastodon (or whatever time it is for you). We are one day away from the one year anniversary of the Twitter Lockout, November 18, 2022. An amazing day in internet history on which a quarter million new users joined Mastodon. Perhaps it's a good moment to share thoughts or reflections about open social media over this last tumultuous year as well as hopes or predictions for our future.

I am a little confused by companies/entities pulling back their advertising (good) because it might appear beside a Nazi (CEO's) comment on Twitter, but people and PR at that same company are still happily tweeting away in the Nazi cesspool as if that doesn't matter.
It does. The podium you stand on matters. To turn a phrase, You sit on a throne of Nazis!

Lesenswerte, differenzierte Begründung für den Wechsel von Twitter zu #Mastodon ins #Fediverse.

Ganz konsequent wäre es, den X-Account gar nicht mehr zu bespielen, sondern nur noch als Hülle zu führen, damit das Handle nicht gekapert werden kann. Dafür haben wir uns beim @olgkarlsruhe entschieden - und es nicht bereut. ;-)
