Thoughts on Twitter, Mastodon, and owning your data

"What I’m finding most satisfying about Mastodon, and I’m seeing a lot of other journalists feel this, is that it actually forces you to ask and confront some of these questions and to make active choices. Even if Mastodon were to remain Twitter’s very tiny stepbrother, I would still like to be part of a Mastodon journalist community because I think we got lazy as a field, and we let Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and, god help us, Elon Musk decide..."

Mastodon’s Moment – The Markup

A conversation with Adam Davidson

Hello, Mastodon

We have decided to create an account at Mastodon. We need time to learn how this platform works but also how to synchronize our work here with the Twitter account.

Thank you all for joining us here. No matter where we are, the mission stays the same. We are in social media to commemorate the victims of Auschwitz and educate the world about the tragic story of the camp.

I put a CDN in front of the images, so they should load faster now. I've also upgraded the server again. A new iOS app release is waiting for review.
I think it's glorious that there's now a Mastodon server operated by people who used to work for Twitter (macaw.social). I could have never imagined it when I started in 2016.

"Noch sei Mastodon vor allem ein Liebhaberstück und ein Statement."

War #Twitter sicherlich auch mal. Es kommt immer darauf an, was die Menschen daraus machen. Ich finde #Mastodon wesentlich angenehmer als das laute Twitter.

I wrote this three years ago:

“One day, Twitter and other publishing platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Medium will indeed die, like so many sites before them. And every time this happens, we lose most of the content we created and with it a fair amount of our collective cultural history.”

Own your content.
