Useful information on what you’ll find in your timeline. #Mastodon

You may be aware that there is something called the #Fediverse.

But do you know about all the different types of applications that run on the Fediverse?

I made this visual to give myself and others something to point at when explaining "the big picture".

You may be surprised by how many services beyond Mastodon there are to explore.

The many branches of the Fediverse

As more and more people are asking me about Mastodon I felt a need for a picture to point at, showcasing how the software known as Mastodon fits into the much larger concept of the Fediverse. I made this infographic to help myself and others explain the many different use-cases

I am 100% in. My #NovemberMigration pledge:

1. Post new content only on #Mastodon (provide links on Tw)
2. No new content on Tw (except links to (1))
3. No retweet/reply to any content on Tw other than content related to #TwitterMigration

Like a big social psych experiment in the wild ...

Mastodon friends, I wrote a thread on Twitter that asks for commitments to three behaviors to maximize the chances for a successful transition of the community discussion to this platform. Please have a look and retweet it if you are willing to commit to the behaviors for November: https://twitter.com/BrianNosek/status/1587078444252274688

I'm quoted in the Washington Post today, in this piece about people giving up planes and taking the train instead

The story the piece tells is nice, and the images are excellent. How to overcome the issues is covered in less detail though!

Welcome new Mastodon users! The servers are under a bit of load right now with everyone who noped out of Twitter. I don't blame you. You made the right choice. Bear with it as the place gets sorted out. Also consider donating to afford more server resources. There is no ad revenue here.
