We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 โ€“ Welcome to all our new followers here ๐Ÿ˜Š
LibreOffice (@LibreOffice) on X

Hello, world! ๐Ÿ‘‹ From now on, Mastodon is our preferred social media channel. It's an open source, decentralised platform โ€“ not controlled by tech giants. Follow us here: https://t.co/KZpwR61V5R

X (formerly Twitter)
@libreoffice
Heerlijk nieuws. Top! ๐Ÿ‘
@libreoffice
Wonderful to have you here.
Breath the free air!
@libreoffice Donโ€™t be surprised if you get a reprimand for that on X. And the question remains how many of your followers will see it there.
@Schimmelreiter @libreoffice already happening haha 
@mcbaumwolle @Schimmelreiter @libreoffice Yeah, there was a bunch of unsupportive comments on Shitter :'(

@micdan @mcbaumwolle @Schimmelreiter @libreoffice

Everybody still there is either a nazi or some masochist

@mcbaumwolle @Schimmelreiter @libreoffice
@Ben_W_Ritter@twitter.com just showed the world his incompetence at anything, including his professed field of "developing" any sort of programme. #Slow_Hand_Clap

@mcbaumwolle @libreoffice They're just desperately trying to excuse nole ksum doing anything and everything to drive projects and users off of the platform.

I'm so glad I don't not use X and my account on their is basically dead.

@mcbaumwolle @libreoffice Based on what I can see here, you might as well cut X use off completely. https://xcancel.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158

Dude with a faux NFT monkey profile pic:
"So please delete your account here, otherwise stop annoying people with your moral compass."

Dear God, kill Xitter with fire. XD

@cameron_bosch @mcbaumwolle @libreoffice Wow, that was enlightening. X is quite the hostile place. Funny how people who clearly don't use Mastodon, know all about Mastodon. Glad you're here LibreOffice.
@mcbaumwolle @Schimmelreiter @libreoffice And they say Mastodon's an echo chamber! I guess they latched onto the "it's too complicated" narrative from 2022.
@mcbaumwolle @Schimmelreiter @libreoffice not used by anyone, but this post on fediverse has more comments, more retoot and more likes than the one on Xitter, where the account has twice as many followers
@zii_0 @Schimmelreiter @libreoffice I literally tell this about who asks me anything about #fedi because the actual interaction rate here seems so much better and more human.
@Schimmelreiter @libreoffice i'm guessing they'll go with 'that's partially why' on both counts
@libreoffice@fosstodon.org nice to see you here. Welcome โค
@libreoffice Good decision! Welcome.
@libreoffice better late than never. welcome!
@libreoffice welcome here ๐Ÿ’š
@rifka Thanks! We've been here since 2019, of course, and just as active here as anywhere else ๐Ÿ˜Š
@libreoffice
Good job. Wish others thought like this.
@libreoffice Great! Welcome. ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ Iโ€™m using LibreOffice and love it!
@libreoffice well, you also welcome at justbsocial.eu the group libreoffice there would be great
@libreoffice @simonjay Congrats, even if itโ€™s late. The Fediverse is the obvious choice for FOSS.
@clarissawam Well, we've been on here since 2019 ๐Ÿ˜‰ And just as active here โ€“ if not more, due to the more technical audience here.
@libreoffice @clarissawam but somehow you do not have a profil picture which seems pretty weird. Maybe invest in one now?

@marion_grau
They have the perfect profile picture for their account.

@libreoffice @clarissawam

@marion_grau if you dont see a profile picture for @libreoffice , that is probably due to a caching error or federation error on your instance climatejustice.social
@libreoffice welcome! i can tell by the replies on twitter that the people there are totally not mad and we should definitely not put in the newspaper that they got mad

@eniko @libreoffice

that ยซMastodon is fascist social mediaยป is really *chef kiss*

@oblomov @libreoffice it is objectively extremely funny
@eniko @oblomov @libreoffice That's what you get if you think picking truth.social as your home instance is a good idea ๐Ÿ˜
@oblomov @eniko @libreoffice I really wonder what the reasoning is. But not enough to ever go back to that site and ask
@libreoffice enjoy my follow :3 โ€‹โ€‹

@oblomov @libreoffice funny, although unsurprising that X users think Mastodon is too hard to use, or otherwise bad.

It's nice hanging out here with the other geniuses who can figure out how to use it.

@ghouston @oblomov @libreoffice

We'll, that twitter post has less replies and discussion than this post. ๐Ÿคท

Otoh, the deranged replies over there are far much funnier.

@mndflayr @ghouston @libreoffice

ah, good old quality over quantity again ;-)

@ghouston @oblomov @libreoffice I do find it strange that there seems to just be this accepted wisdom that 'Mastodon is a usability nightmare'.. parroted widely, including by those who claim to love open source and have tried it. I just don't see it.
