Mastodawn

I miss some people from #IndianTwitter, but I don’t miss Indian Twitter here. It is like a breathless Indian news-channel over there— everyone already knows everything and has to talk over everyone else in long monologues with end-of-world proclamations. #mastindia

As shared earlier by me, in my opinion, this is true for most sports, entertainment and political celebrities (and their followers) irrespective of any country.

Publicity, in Mastodon, is harder compared to that in Twitter or Facebook. The endless dopamine cycle that rewards both creators and users is missing in Mastodon.

Most sports, entertainment and political celebrities (and their followers) will find it hard to accept Mastodon. They would prefer commercial social media sites with algorithms to promote engaging content and reach of their account with viral surges and high-voltage reactions. Their users must get to know the extent of virality of a post though number of likes, shares etc. Mastodon cannot offer these features and passive income. So Twitter, Instagram etc. will continue to grow. #Mastodon

I think it is safe to say that most of #IndianTwitter will not make the shift to #MastIndia. People have built their identities around that place and many who hate it won’t be able to let go.

Even as fascists take over the remaining spaces and misinformation spreads, they will be posting Wordle scores like the two noblemen in Satyajit Ray’s “Satranj Ke Khiladi” who played chess while the British entered Lucknow. #India

A quick explainer to non #Mastodon.ie people.
#IrishTwitter became a phenomenon as an anti-imperialist hashtag when the queen of England died. It joined with #BlackTwitter and #IndianTwitter as post colonial shared experiences. It is a relevant hashtag for post-Twitter #TwitterMigration

He finally discovered the “is this true?/big if true” model. Staple of whatsapp and #indiantwitter information disorder for many years. Just ask @free_thinker.

Today’s Twitter challenge: write a policy that bans “just asking questions”-style tweets in a way that removes the Trump-old man tweet but preserves the WHO discourse
