Twitter buyout puts Mastodon into spotlight

The news of Elon Musk buying Twitter has put Mastodon into the public spotlight as an alternative social network, rapidly exploding our growth with over 30,000 new users in just a single day. This is because at Mastodon, we present a vision of social media that cannot be bought and owned by any billionaire, and strive to create a more resilient global platform without profit incentives. We believe that your ability to communicate online should not be at the whims of a single commercial company.

@Mastodon is there a list of instances that show the instance age?
Show threadloganApr 27, 2022
@santiago @Mastodon probably not . or at least not accurately.
they would only be able to really trace any instances after their own inception.

my own instances age is easy to track for me though cause this account was created at the same time the instance was.
probably the most accurate date would be to go by the first created account.
but i'm not aware of any lists.
Show threadloganApr 27, 2022
@santiago @Mastodon maybe this is something @[email protected] could implement considering they seem to be spotting servers left and right.

@Mastodon @santiago I don’t see age as an option but this sortable list is pretty handy

@jbk which instance did this happen on?

@optimal it was on @mastodon.social ,thank you

@jbk @Mastodon i don't think no one can suspend your instance, where do you host your instance? If you host your instance in your own private PC, no one can suspend your instance.

Your server your rules, your instance your rules.

@rohmatsb @Mastodon thanks for explaining,it was a normal user of Mastodon,just was told the account was suspended from a mail ,i don’t know why,all was showed on the pic attached,how can she could get the account restored,we didn’t get any response after submitting the appeal,thank you so much 🤝🤝
Show threadRoh 👻Apr 28, 2022

@jbk @Mastodon she joined the same server as you, or is she joining at https://mastodon.social?

If she's not joining "mastodon.social" or "mastodon.online". The @Mastodon can't do anything about it.

It's that the server admin can do anything with your account, including blocking it. There are a lot of other server will welcome you and your friend nicely.

Well, tell her to join other server.
The server i joined is open for registration

=> https://toot.io <=

@jbk @Mastodon
Mastodon works the same as email

You signedup on Yahoo Email, and they suspend your email, the only one can restore your account is just Yahoo. Google can't do anything about it.

But instead of restoring your Yahoo email account, you can sign up on Gmail.

The same as Mastodon, you can always jump to other server that will welcome you nicely.

Show threadRoh 👻Apr 28, 2022

@jbk @Mastodon
Even if you're on Yahoo and your friend on Gmail, both of you can always communicate.

You can also follow each other and communicate even if they're on other server.

You see, i'm writing this from https://toot.io server

@Mastodon Unfortunatly, it's unlikly that it will last long. Exodus to alternatives to protest about a giant platform decision have always been temporary because for many people, a full switch means lost the people they followed. The big platforms are too powerful and popular.
Show threadhypnofoxApr 27, 2022
@stemy @Mastodon you're probably right. But many people (myself included) got fed up with Twitter, some even before musk, so they will be happy to stay on alternative platforms.
Show threadEsiApr 27, 2022
@stemy @Mastodon The majority will go back, that's true. But yet, some will stay, and that's beautiful.
Show threadKyrre SjøbækApr 27, 2022
@stemy @Mastodon A lot of big platforms have died in the last 20 years tough... The only really old one that remains is email, which is also distributed in a similar way as the fediverse.
Show threadDuffmanApr 27, 2022

@stemy @Mastodon I still use twitter and other platforms, but I'm gonna use this from time to time while others move across.

Few will go cold turkey on older platforms, but using this side-by-side at least means I'm ready to switch whenever my faves are

@Mastodon I even deleted my Twitter account for good in favour of Mastodon or fediverse in general. But the trigger for that is they delete people’s accounts based some policies they can interpret however they want.
Being owned by for profit company is not a sin. What more important is what they actually do. Running on Mastodon but if they delete your message, delete your account, label you badly because of who-know-what reason is just equally bad as it happens on Twitter.
