Let's do #JoinMastodonDay on 9th of March!

  • Before: spread the word! Get to know Mastodon, choose a server, export contacts from 'other platforms', ...
  • On the 9th: Mastodon users write & boost tutorials and tips, share #Introduction posts, advertise servers, send invite links, ... and the Newcomers Come!
  • After: keep helping newcomers and sharing intro posts.

What say you? 😃​ Please boost if you're in!

⤴️​ Why the 9th of March?

  • J O I N
    10 +15 +9 +14 = 12; 1+2 = 3, so March
  • M A S T O D O N
    13 +1 +19+ 20 +15 +4 +15 +14 =116; 1+1+6 = 8 so 8th of March... But 8th of March is International Women's day so: 9th of March!

Also: it will be a week before #LeaveTwitterDay (15th of March) which will should be enough time for people to put their affairs in order?

@elduvelle @noellemitchell @alexwild unless you live in the rest of the world, in which case 3/8/23 means the third of August 🤣

@peteralee yeah, but that’s too far in the future 😅​

@peteralee No reason why we couldn’t have an additional #JoinMastodonDay on that date though!

My dear @kordinglab, would you help us spread the word about #JoinMastodonDay on here? And possibly on Twitter as well if you would link there to this post? ⤴️​ 🙏​

@elduvelle how?

@kordinglab If you could boost the first post (https://neuromatch.social/@elduvelle/109861042649284737) that would be great!

And on Twitter you could tweet the link to it: https://neuromatch.social/@elduvelle/109861042649284737

or make your own tweet if you want, as long as it has the #JoinMastodonDay hashtag and the date of 9th of March!

I’ll make a proper tweet later… you can always wait for that if you prefer.

Thank you so much!!!

@kordinglab I have tweeted a #JoinMastodonDay post there: https://twitter.com/ElDuvelle/status/1631431949150552064?s=20. If you wanted to retweet it, or make your own one, I would be eternally grateful. This place is nice and would be even nicer with more friends around!

@elduvelle @kordinglab
It would also be the occasion to either organize a Mastodon "drive" (e.g. a drive to get people already on Mastodon to *only* post on Mastodon for, say, a week) or to seriously inquire into the reasons and try to brainstorm around why even accounts with a large Mastodon follower base still do the majority of their posting on Twitter. Or a drive *and* a brainstorm!

Cos the only thing I personally miss about Twitter... are the things that don't get posted + discussed here!

@WorldImagining @kordinglab I agree... I think the main factor is just habit, and also all the little details that twitter does to keep you hooked which do not happen on Mastodon... so it requires a conscious, deliberate effort to make the switch and they need a very good reason to do that.

@elduvelle @kordinglab If one doesn't succeed in creating a virtuous circle, a vicious one sets in :) The more I have to go to Twitter just to stay up to date on what's happening, the more likely I am to just start using Twitter again myself, and so on and so on. If we can speak in terms of social media FOMO, I feel like it has swung back in the "wrong" direction; there doesn't seem to be much FOMO regarding not using Mastodon. How about something like weekly neuromatch.social AMAs?

@WorldImagining @kordinglab I don’t know what an AMA is but I think I agree with you??
