ResearchBuzz: FirehosearXiv: Straddling Two Platforms: From Twitter to Mastodon, an Analysis of the Evolution of an Unfinished Social Media Migration. “The acquisition of Twitter (now X) by Elon Musk in 2022 generated concerns among Twitter users regarding changes in the platform’s direction, prompting a migration campaign by some user groups to the federated network Mastodon. This study reviews the onboarding of […]
GartenpoetBluesky sperrt JD Vance nach Anmeldung – leider nur kurz 🤦
Ich wechsle doch nicht von eXTwitter ins Fediverse, damit dieser Typ und seine MAGA-Sekte hinterherkommt und alles verpestet 😠
Bluesky briefly suspends JD Vance after sign-up – sadly, just briefly!
I'm not fleeing eXTwitter just to see this guy and his MAGA cult follow and poison the well over here too.

valsombraAnyone aware of any good \ user friendly guides or instructionals out there to help people migrate from meta \ Twitter to Mastodon?
I want to start putting together resources to help groups and communities migrate en masse away from billionaire backed platforms to decentralized ones. Target audience would be soccer moms, activists, college students, etc.
Looking for help getting connected with subject area experts and others already working on this.
(Boosts appreciated)
Kevin Veen-BirkenbachI've set up my own Friendica instance, and you can now follow me at @[email protected] 🎉 Friendica, powered by ActivityPub, makes it easier to migrate from centralized social media platforms to this decentralized alternative. 🌐 I created this instance as a personal alternative to Facebook, and I couldn't be happier with how it works! 🚀
Check out the setup here: https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/cymais/tree/master/roles/docker-friendica

ToroidalCoreSo if you're new to #Fediverse, you may be have an opinion on my comparison to Linux. Or, you may just be looking for a better place to post cat pictures. Either way, keep in mind that this place is not the same as the other social media sites. Think of those like big space stations, they may be fancy and have a lot of amenities, but they're isolated habitats. The Fediverse is more like a planet, with mountains, forests, deserts, continents, islands, and people swimming across the oceans or just treading water. You can explore all that, but you start with your surroundings.
I do recommend looking at a smaller instance. I started at a big one, and it can give you a more Twitter-esque impression, but a smaller one that you align more closely with means you're closer to the people actually running it, be they mods or the admins controlling the actual server. There's only so much they can do about the rest of the Fediverse - usually cutting off from it. But you don't have to be at the whims of a massive entity.
Look for people to follow. Follow hashtags that look interesting, and use them when you post. Fill out your bio and make an intro, so people can get to know you as an actual individual. We don't have an algorithm here to spoonfeed you things, so if you're just here to promote your thing maybe it's not the best place. But if you engage people (tastefully and courteously) about that thing and represent it well, you never know.
Realize that this place is just another set of tools, and that it doesn't magically solve every problem you've ever had with social media. It's often said that you can't solve societal problems with technology, and if you dig around on the Fediverse enough you'll find a lot of toxic sludge, some pretty obvious and some less obvious. Realize that there are ways people interact with this place, and while you shouldn't be expected to pick up on every unwritten rule, it's good to be aware of what's going on.
Realize we're doing what we can with what we have. It doesn't mean we're (you, I, and everyone) are above criticism, but we use the tools that are available. Yes, sometimes that means that instances no longer talk to each other (defederation), meaning you basically need to maintain alts. You can and should comment or complain about how things work (that happens a lot), but realize that there's a chance it might actually amount to something. Or that it might not.
And of course, if this place isn't what you're looking for, that's okay too. But if you came here looking for something new, give it a whirl and see.
