Exactly two years ago, we started to post links on #Mastodon via our account @heiseonline 👇
https://mastodon.social/@heiseonline/109314036284496776
It took longer, than I expected, but here we are: it seems like this account now brings continuously more #traffic to heise.de than #X (#Twitter) in its entirety, although it only has ¼ of the follower number (and many of them don't seem to be active anymore).
I'll prepare some graphs after the weekend.

Here’s a little something to help you get acquainted with Mastodon.
I've also written a tutorial on the same subject: https://tikli.neocities.org/resources/gswmastodon
#MastodonNewbie #TwitterMigration
When you post on Twitter(1) or Bluesky(2) you grant them a broad perpetual license to use, modify, and sublicense your content. You effectively make them co-owners of your content. They can mine it and monetize it. They can even sell it. When you post on Mastodon(3) most instances take no license at all. That's right, they tell you what they are doing with your content—storing posts and delivering them—but no license.

But as a journalist, it would be immoral and extremely selfish for me to stay quiet after taking care of my personal needs, and not express my serious concerns and worry for the future of journalism safety on Mastodon, and for the friends and colleagues who remain connected to both instances.
I feel very uneasy at how things are looking like for the press. This is the last thing I expected to see happen on a platform that marketed itself as a safe escape in the midst of the #TwitterMigration.
pluszként pedig olyan dolgokat lehet beállítani, hogy ne lásd a boost / favourite számot és menüsor automatikus elrejtése.
érdemes kipróbálni, mert lehet pont ez adja meg a lökést ahhoz hogy valaki végleg leszokjon a Twitter-doomscrolling-ról 🙂

Hello, new fedinauts, I’m Aral. I live on the Emerald Isle with my partner in crime Laura and our trusty sidekick Oskar the huskamute.
I’m working on building the Small Web¹ as an ethical alternative to the Big Web.
Please feel free to say hi. I don’t bite (unless you’re a proud surveillance capitalist/people farmer or a douchebag billionaire) 😀

What is the Small Web?
Updated June 19th, 2023 Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. But that doesn’t mean you can’t watch it! You can download Small Is Beautiful #23 directly, and watch it with your favourite video player.Aral Balkan

- Welcome to the fediverse!
- If you’ve joined mastodon.social because it was the default option in the app, please look to move to a smaller instance so mastodon.social doesn’t grow to become Twitter 2.0. (You can use https://instances.social to find a new instance or ask folks on here for suggestions.)
- Please add alternate text to your images so people who use screen readers can join in too. (https://accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/describe-content-images)
#TwitterMigration #mastodon #fediverse
Write good Alt Text to describe images
Alternative (Alt) Text is meant to convey the “why” of the image as it relates to the content of a document or webpage. It is read aloud to users by screen reader software, and it is indexed by search engines.accessibility.huit.harvard.edu
Usem #hashtags! Elas facilitam encontrar as coisas no fediverso e permitem que os termos apareçam no "Em alta agora" de sua instância.
É possível acompanhar hashtags e assim acompanhar um determinado assunto também. Ainda permitem que as pessoas filtrem conteúdos que não as interessam.

When we quote retweet on the birdsite, it's usually about adding our own commentary:
🐦 THIS is why this is important to ME...
🐦 MY opinion is more compelling because...
🐦 THAT'S NOTHING! Listen to MY story...
When we quote retweet, we take someone else's post and make it about US. This can get problematic when the original tweet was from from a #bipoc, #indigenous, #LGBTQPlus, or other #marginalized or #vulnerable person.
When we boost a toot, we're using OUR voices and influence to amplify others'. And we're doing so on their terms, not our own. If we feel strongly about the original post, we can always add our own voices to the conversation, but without using our #privilege to talk over people who might need to be heard more than us.
Floss has and will prevail over commercial hegemony. Then, learn how to submit bugs and feature requests here. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/dev/disclosure/
Does this seem like too much work? Your behaviors and posts are not monetized here, so your time, feedback and understanding is what floss needs to prosper. Also, if you can, pay into your instance. Bandwidth costs. It's a huge amount of work to moderate responsibly. #Fediverse #OpenSource #BlackMastodon #TwitterMIgration
In short - enjoy the platform - but consider supporting the admins! The quickest way for this to go away is for servers to disappear!

Seriously, geniuses. No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to use the entire character limit. You wanna cut your thought off at 140, 280, or 500 characters? Great! Get to it! Stop using that as a nonsense argument to force OTHERS to truncate their thoughts to match your limited attention span. 🙃

His motivation to buy #birdsite was not to run it, but to implement his version of #freespeech. Passing the mantle now means:
* Return to being a user
* Have someone else to pull the potatoes out of the fire
* Transfer #legal responsibility to that someone
* Stop the main drive for #twittermigration
* Recover biz cred
* Being the owner, still keep #twitter as a personal mouthpiece!
In short: he gets it all.

Posting this here tonight for you all. Will post on Twitter tomorrow. We'll see if I have a Twitter account still on Tuesday. #TwitterMigration #MastodonMigration
Mastodon Features That Twitter Should Steal (but Won’t)
Elon Musk's platform could learn a thing or two from its most popular alternative—like how to build a social platform people actually want to be on.Justin Pot (WIRED)

She's a technology columnist for the Washington Post, suspended this evening from Twitter apparently for asking Musk to comment on a story involving Musk. Musk is demonstrating that he can extort censorship from the media with the ban hammer. Taylor was targeted to be an example. Other journalists are put on notice it's not them...this time, and reminded to toe the line. This is about press freedom. That's why we all should care.

We now have nearly 1,000 lawyers and law professors on Mastodon per a sheet tracking them/us. #TwitterMigration
You might have said some stuff about Mastodon in the past that you're sheepish about now.
Don't be!
It's not a big deal and nobody's going to hold it against you. Promise!
We're just glad to get to connect with you again.
Here, we're the content moderation. I've got major respect for the folks who built this place because, while the rest of us were complaining over on the #birdsite, they were successfully de-federating Gab.
Let's continue this proud #Fediverse tradition.

Migration from Twitter shows no signs of slowing following Musk's takeover: report
Since Elon Musk's takeover, Mastodon account names have been added to the Twitter bios of more than 90,000 users, according to a report.Isabella Zavarise (Insider)
No, I'm telling you that moderation on the Fediverse is imperfect, especially for admins.
If you've ever had a thread get boosted 6,000x, you'll know what I mean.
Don't make this place appealing for the trolls.
We look at which sites users are adding to their Twitter bios, posting to their friends about & downloading apps for.
Please do boost this, and love to hear any comments or feedback on it!

When you join Mastodon, be careful about your role in the potential gentrification of this social network!
I say this because I'm noticing more and more high status folk making this their home.
That's fine.
But before you came, this place had a culture -- a very real and vibrant one.
And now that you're here, other high status people are sure to follow -- those people will try to seize this space!
