The @WSJ even issued their own guide to getting started on #Mastodon! It's easy to see why Elon Musk feels threatened, with Twitter on fire and outlets like this suggesting an exit ramp: https://www.wsj.com/story/how-to-use-mastodon-the-social-media-platform-blocked-by-elon-musks-twitter-7751455f #JoinMastodon

@anthony Quite frankly: All it takes for Mastodon to replace Twitter is simply a server which can host 250 million users under one domain. That's it. The thing that holds it down is the old school "nationalization" (different domains) with "national governments" (domain administrators) of Mastodon; it is not a true global community under one roof with global rules like the other successful social media sites provides (fb, yt, Insta, Twitter...).

@anthony is WSJ on Mastodon? Once we start to see companies coming across, it's lights out for Twitter.

@anthony there are also instructional videos on YouTube. Learning to use Mastodon is my holiday project.
