Ben Gracewood 🚲🇳🇿I tried to capture a bit of the vibe of this moment, and also explain a bit about Mastodon. I've probably annoyed hardcore Mastodon users and left out some stuff, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://thespinoff.co.nz/internet/07-11-2022/why-is-everyone-leaving-twitter-for-mastodon
Thanks @aurynn @idanoo @explorergrace for your input 🙏🏼 #NZTwits #mastodon #twittermigration
Oh dear @jacindaardern, this is the kind of response I'd expect from the thumb in a suit. I hoped you'd be smarter than that.
Right, so apparently you can do it in Tusky, I must be stupid andor blind, because I can't figure it out 😭
Ok, let me rephrase... An Android toot app that let's me do gifs (i. e. Not Tusky which I currently use)
There are now ads in the @FlyAirNZ trivia quiz. IS NOTHING SACRED!?!?
TheaI keep seeing people say Mastodon is nothing like Twitter. And they’re right.
Mastodon is an echo of the old internet, it’s decentralised, chaotic. What you get depends on your sysadmin. You can’t search, everything has to be shared to you by a human. Networks split apart and rejoin. What you see is your unique connection to it.
Is this good? Maybe. But for me that’s the internet I grew up with. No algorithms, no targeted adverts, just human interaction, and it was glorious.
Best toot client for Android.... Go.
Eugen RochkoI've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's
Ummmmm @BlackFerns that was a bit too close for comfort. Well done. See you next weekend at Eden Park for the final.
