Anyone who still has your Twitter acount: Muskrat is running a poll asking if he should step down from Twitter. He says he'll abide by the results, but he's also a world class liar.
But it's worth logging in to vote, if for no other reason than to hurt his feelings.
Public Service Warning
Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.
It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.
We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
Sick of #twitter ?
Just go to the Playstore, search for Twitter. Don't reinstall it, but rate it with one star. Then select the three dots in the top right, with 'Flag As Inappropriate'. The next screen asks why you think it is inappropriate. Mark it as 'Contains Hate Speech', and submit.
Google does take these reports seriously. It's worth the effort.
About following people on other servers:
I'm on mstdn.social, Eugen is on mastodon.social.
If I see him *while browsing my own server*, it functions like Twitter: click to follow, even if they're on another server. Pic 1.
If I see him *while browsing on a server other than the one I'm on*, I'll get the popup. Pic 2. So I press copy, go back to my server, paste it into search, then follow through that. Pic 3.
Yes, the second method is cumbersome. But that's how to do it for now.
The redoubtable Ben Collins -- one of the best in the business - just came aboard Mastodon. You should follow him immediately. @oneunderscore__
(I'll put together a list of tech reporters and post it soon.)
JoinMastodon official account has been banned on Twitter.
Seems like someone’s getting worried?
