I see a lot of tweets/toots about the supposedly ongoing #TwitterMigration, in both my #Twitter and #Mastodon feeds (mainly from fellow academics). What I don't really see though is any change in quality, content, and quantity in either feeds.

Welcome to the new people joining the Fediverse!

Once you get the hang of it, consider writing an #introductions toot and pin that to your profile.

I recommend @laura 's intro to Mastodon (link below). Tech savvy ppl may glance over the ActivityPub W3C standard to grasp the full power. I use Pixelfed's ActivityPub photo sharing, and these services interact: a photo upload is a toot, and a reply becomes a comment.

What is Mastodon and why should I use it?

Now you know why I’m moving away from Twitter, you probably have a vague idea of what I’m looking for in a social network. Mastodon is unique for a few reasons: it is federated, ethical, and inclusive.

@arjenpdevries So, are we supposed to see mastodon as a replacement for Twitter or for Facebook? @suzan
