Ondanks het hoongelach en de technische complexiteit zijn er op korte tijd veel mensen een radicaal andere manier van online netwerken aan het ontdekken.

Zonder recommendation-algoritme, zonder advertentiedoeleinden en zonder het gijzelen van je data.

I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.

“While technically anyone can spin up a Mastodon server, most users agree that the network has a left-leaning bent.”

Birds of a feather, migrate to #Mastodon together 😉

Mastodon gained 70,000 users after Musk’s Twitter takeover. I joined them

The platform is home to a devoted base of left-leaning communities – and no one billionaire can control it

Ben jij op zoek naar een nieuwe instance/server (bijvoorbeeld omdat je nu op het hele grote mastodon.social zit en ontevreden bent met de snelheid of de gemeenschap daar)?

@Gargron We appreciate the hard work you put into it and the honesty, clarity and openness.

The first 3 years on Twitter they presented us with the "fail whale" which supposed to be funny, but no feedback about what caused it and steps to a solution.

you still found a solution , even though it is not easy with rising demand and long delivery times.

I donated yesterday with the hope that a contribution can make a difference.If I can help in any other way, let me know. Keep up the good work!

Flinke tegenwind voor Elon Musk, blijkt uit goeie reconstructie in ⁦@nytimes⁩ Grote adverteerders aarzelen over Twitter, maatschappelijke organisaties zijn bezorgd, managment niet alleen ontslagen maar aantal grote namen loopt ook weg. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/01/technology/elon-musk-twitter-advertisers.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Elon Musk’s Twitter Faces Exodus of Advertisers and Executives

At least five Twitter executives have left in recent days, as one of the world’s largest ad companies said clients should pause spending on the social media platform.

“What users need is greater control over what content they receive, how it is prioritised and how it is presented.”

Superb blog by our Executive Director @jim about Twitter’s takeover by Elon Musk 👇

Nobody is happy with the private public square Nobody is happy at Musk’s takeover of Twitter.

I have no objection against paying for a service.

On the contrary, I highly recommend you seek out services where you are the customer vs the product.

Although this proposal doesn't make a lot of sense IMHO.

P.s. while we are discussing paying for a service. Please consider supporting your Mastodon instance.

So the users of #Twitter need to pay so Twitter can pay it's users...

Sheer brilliance 👌

Working on an update for the #retweet filter. Testing is a bit hard ATM. Update later today.
