Nick @ The Linux ExperimentCan’t congratulate @elementary enough for leaving Twitter.

@thelinuxEXP @elementary Maybe this means things will be going well for elementaryOS, who knows, maybe we're getting a pantheon redesign?
@WohaoGast @elementary I wouldn’t be against a theme refresh to accompany the ongoing gtk4 migration, but I’m not sure it’s their priority!
Amy 🇹🇭@thelinuxEXP @elementary Twitter is becoming a worse place. Too bad Mastodon is just a place for me to look at Dinosaur art and Linux stuff for me unfortunately :(
@AmyIsCoolz @elementary It’s become absolutely terrifying. The number of people on Twitter who just sound like brainwashed conspiracy theorists in sad, really.
@thelinuxEXP @elementary Pressing For You these days is just a bad idea.
Kneonspace@thelinuxEXP @AmyIsCoolz
Previously when something major happend you could look at twitter for local news sources to cross check al the local and international information to get an accurate picture of what happend, without the bias of one countries culture and media.
If you do that now, you will find 14 verified conspiracy theorists, 7 'patriots' waving confederate flags and further down one person supporting that symbol from germany
Below that is the 1 local journalist who hasn't left yet.
Mark Zimmerman@thelinuxEXP @AmyIsCoolz @elementary The mass wave of completely unmoderated antisemitism I saw after the K-Ye thing was just heartbreaking.
@MarkZimmerman @AmyIsCoolz @elementary Yeah, there’s that, the people misusing free speech to say any horrendous xenophobic crap they want, the Elon bootlickers, and all the conspiracy nutjobs, it’s really concerning…
Fúlvio Leo@thelinuxEXP @AmyIsCoolz @elementary for me, it already looked like that years ago. People always seemed mean on that place. I tried to create a good buble, but there was always something I didn't want to know showing up.
There was just to many accounts for me to block. Here I recently blocked an entire instance because they seemed to have the same behavior (mostly about politics) I used to see on Twitter. It looks easier to be in peace here haha
Yehoslav@thelinuxEXP on Twatter? I thought that brainwashed people are everywhere :| and doesn't matter the political spectrum, they just robotically repeat what is trendy among them
@thelinuxEXP @elementary Good to see the Open-Source community has stood resolutely against Twitter's erratic and opaque string of actions lately.
Platforms built on open standards are great for developers just as much as they are for journalists, activists, and communities.

@thelinuxEXP @elementary seeing everyone in the replies to their tweet going "what does linux have to do with politics" is both funny and sad
@SRAZKVT @thelinuxEXP @elementary a lot of them really are reminding me of the replies nick got when he announced he was leaving odysee...
Johannes Brakensiek@thelinuxEXP Absolutely. And while advertising and promotion are important: Best promotion is to deliver a good product. I really hope @elementary is going to succeed with that.
RushLana@thelinuxEXP @elementary Nora : The comments under their tweet are ... Delusional at best.

@thelinuxEXP it's weird that FOSS projects aren't the first ones to embrace FOSS social media.

@elementary
@getimiskon @elementary I think they’ve been on Mastodon for a while now?
@thelinuxEXP I'm not talking about Elementary in particular, but it's something that I noticed for quite some time. But it's always nice to see people from FOSS projects (especially the well-known ones) interacting with the people on fedi.

Hopefully more organizations make a similar choice. I never considered Twitter a particularly positive place, but now it's much worse

@enthusiast101 It’s turned from “people trying to snarky and witty” to “people voluntarily being offensive and insulting”
Ebsku@thelinuxEXP Twitter is just like odysee but even worse
Apan@thelinuxEXP why even care what platfrom other people/org uses? Fun fact nobody cares what platforms other use, even less what they dont use.
@Apan Fun fact: people do in fact care very much about all that, because the stuff you use or don’t use reflects your personal or company values ;)

Wondering if they'll also drop Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok if they have it, maybe even YouTube
