Justin PotApparently I'm going to be on BBC5 tonight talking about Mastodon any brits have any advice?
They told me it would be about Mastodon but it was mostly about Elon Musk. Still managed to mention four different UK instances.
Here's my BBC Radio 5 interview from last week! I was told it would be about Mastodon but it mostly ended up being about EM, so I had to improvise. I did mention a few UK instances, though.
LPS@jhpot THIS is unfortunately why less and less people are paying attention to legacy news:(
Sad that you had 2 minutes to get even a little substance into the conversation.
Not a criticism of you, just to be clear.
johnadams@jhpot can you post the link to your interview?
@johnadams1 I don't know if there is a link! The full hour long episode should be available as of tomorrow.
@jhpot ok great! thanks again for showing me and countless others this amazing platform. It just feels so much…better to be using than DeadBird. #twittermigration #mastodon
Guy@jhpot do you have stats on how much of a member boost you have recieved in the last week ?.. interested to see if you have been the recipient of some of the herd or still too early to tell ?
@guychurchward what do you mean? if you're asking about wired subscriptions I have no idea, I'm just a freelancer.
@guychurchward or are you asking about mastodon users? im not part of the team just a journalist
@jhpot this one, sorry, thought you were in the mix.. my mistake Justin.. cheers.. Guy

Chris Merriman ⁉️@jhpot I said it's a bit like JFK's quote - Ask not what Twitter can do for you, Ask what you can do for Mastodon. It's not about you, it's about everyone. And being kind.
@ChrisTheDj I like this a lot!
@jhpot Given that the only broadcast I've been invited on about the subject can get in the sea, you're welcome to use that.
Dr. Fyzziks@jhpot Not a brit. But avoid the word "pants" 😆
Eric Ravenscraft@jhpot say "crumpets" a lot, they like that
@lordravenscraft okay thanks
Jose Paez@jhpot tell people that mastodon is like a friday after work going into a loooong weekend
∿ und̷e̷l̷ě̷t̷e̷d̷@jhpot I find sometimes hard to communicate that Mastodon (and Fediverse in general) actually is not a corporation or business or a "startup" or "app"; that it is not a single entity even. Making people sort of catch the idea is not as easy, I guess. I wish you good luck with that:)
@setthemfree I'll try!
Pinko Palest@jhpot Maybe one could say that if only brits on Mastodon had the vote, then Jeremy would have been pm since 2010, having succeeded Tony Benn
Iain Cheyne@jhpot Emphasise that Mastodon is easy. If you're used to Twitter, there's almost nothing to learn.
Pekka Sipilä@jhpot We just hosted the first Mastodon meetup in Helsinki, Finland today as an unofficial #Slush2022 side event. We don't know if this was even the first of its kind anywhere?

Just to let you know that there might be IRL Mastodon events going in Britain now too.
lord pthenq1Las Malvinas son argentinas! 
SethP@jhpot hope that went well. Not surprising it was mostly about the Twit.
@sethpbates it went well, I think! I had fun
