@noelreports I do find Mastodon is a precious News & Info platform in a world where traditional News outlets are still slow to get fast paced stories out,& when they do, detail is omitted for brevity #TwitterExile. In Irish media there is little attention paid to the larger #MIL picture in #Ukraine & will report mostly on individual attacks. I am a person who is more in Receive rather than Transmit mode but I do get the importance here of boosting posts in absence of algorithms.
Vim só verificar se temos enchente e isto fica mais lento. #TwitterExile

টুইটার কেন ছাড়ছি না জানেন?
ফ্যাসিস্টদের হাঁড়ির খবর জানার এর থেকে ভালো প্ল্যাটফর্ম আর নেই।

Do you know why I am not leaving Twitter?
There is no better platform than this to know about the secret mentality of fascists.

I’m honored that several of my dear reading friends have come to Mastodon. I know it’s a leap of faith into the unknown but this is such a superior platform. It’s bad for my mental health to be angry and upset all the time. I feel so much more at peace. #Mastodon #socialmedia #TwitterExile #zen #books
@afouxenidis @politicalscience @sociology I can completely understand why that would be offensive. how about #twitterexile?
Ok, this #Twitter rule is super weird. It can only mean that #TwitterExile is working 

With Twitter taking even more negative turns, I've become more determined to close my account there.

But, I have Tweets of mine I would like to preserve, and thought I could rewrite them (thankfully, I don't have too many) and place them in a #DigitalGarden of sorts.

It wouldn't abide by the usual terms of a Digital Garden (https://nesslabs.com/digital-garden-set-up), but the idea of having short bursts of text interlinked together might create a nice place to collect my thoughts on being #ActuallyAutistic and learning more about myself.

Curious what other people closing their Twitter accounts are thinking about doing with their Tweets?

How to set up your own digital garden

Setting up your own digital garden with evergreen connected notes is a great way to learn in public and to cultivate your curiosity.

An #introduction from another #twitterexile:
I’m Ryan. I’m a #socialscientist based in #politicalscience and #idev departments. My research focuses on #foreignaid and more recently, #metascience. I’m proud of this recent paper: https://osf.io/7vy2f/.
I’m interested in and will post about: effective altruism #ea, #rstats, #cocktails, #cooking and #baking, and local #Toronto stuff. I have 3 kids (one is 2 weeks old) and so will inevitably post about #parenting.

10 #tips for #twitter users who've just joined Mastodon:

1) Calling yourself a Twitter refugee is in extremely poor taste. You left a website. Actual refugees wish they had it as bad as you. Go for #TwitterExile instead.

2) You'll be expected to make a post in a few days talking about how calm you find it here. Go ahead and get it out of the way now. It's a long-held tradition and it doesn't have to be true.

3) Pay the cat/dog/fish/snake/sheep/horse/other animal tax. Ideally you'll pay it in your introduction toot, because then lots of people will boost you and you'll gain the clout you're so desperately chasing.

4) Clout is still a thing here but we've all agreed to pretend that it isn't. By signing up for Mastodon, you've agreed to this too.

5) Turn on Slow Mode in your settings. Seriously. Remember how much you used to hate it when Twitter would refresh in the middle of you reading a tweet and you'd lose it forever? Slow Mode fixes that. I mean, you could have fixed it with Twitter settings too and you didn't, so...

6) #Hashtags are the only way to search here. Therefore, you will always forget to use them.

7) The server you selected as part of joining Mastodon will be the wrong server. Figure that out as soon as possible because you can't move your toots from server to server. You should probably change instances at least twice before you toot anything.

8) There is no QT here. You will find yourself wanting to dunk on things and being unable to do so. Sit back and let it wash over you. Soon, the only thing you'll miss about QT is being able to retweet something and add "👇👇👇THIS👇👇👇." What were you thinking? That doesn't add anything of value. You'll still miss it.

9)Mastodon is not the fediverse. The fediverse is vast and tractless like the sea. There are probably monsters living in it somewhere. All you need to know is that Mastodon is not the fediverse. That will be on the test.

10) In a few days it's customary to start acting like you're a Mastodon expert who's been here since the Dark Ages and to give advice to newcomers. Make it in the form of a list. Don't reveal that you just joined last month and you have no idea what you're talking about.
