Wer #Twitter verlässt, verlässt auch viele soziale Bewegungen und Communities aus dem globalen #Süden, die dort sich und eine internationale Öffentlichkeit gefunden haben.

Die werden sie hier nicht so schnell wieder finden.

Der Vorteil der dezentralen Instanzen kann fĂźr sie - und alle #Minderheiten - auch ein Nachteil sein, denn die Aufmerksamkeit ist durch die lokale Timeline auf die eigene Community gerichtet. Andere Perspektiven haben es dadurch schwerer.

I keep seeing servers starting to de-federate mastodon.social because it's too big and advising people to "seek smaller servers". I understand the impetus but it's a strange kind of violence that's very off-putting

telling my grandchildren about twitter

The collapse of Twitter for (basically) self-inflicted reasons makes a strong case for building online infrastructure structured as a non-profit or public utility.

People rely on these platforms for public information, use them for democratic debate and many invest their livelihoods in them.

These platforms are too important to public safety, peoples’ livelihoods and democracy to leave in the hands of eccentric billionaires or the whims of stock markets.

If some rich dude can buy the public square, then it wasn't the public square.

Loving this cheeky reference to teletext by @bitsoffreedom as an alternative news source to Twitter:

“Lekker ouderwets in 40x25 tekens het nieuws volgen? Op Teletekst staat alles in één handzaam overzicht.”

[Yes, it’s still a thing in the Netherlands!]

Wat als je uit de vogelkooi van Twitter wilt?

Het aantal (actieve) gebruikers van Twitter loopt terug, zo bleek eind oktober uit interne documenten. Een sociaal netwerk waar geen van je contacten op zitten stelt weinig voor, dus wat voor alternatieven heb je eigenlijk?
