i prefer anonymity.
i dont seek to be known, dont chase clout & not carried away with outward appearances.
I respect & trust more what is on your inside because the years pass and the physique is lost, nice words change, strength fades, but character, kindness and love remain in our hearts.

Auch nach einem Jahr auf #Mastodon, finde ich in dieser „Mastodon-Anleitung“ noch gute Tipps. Für alle, die #neuhier sind, empfehle ich sie auf Wiedervorlage. Sie hilft nicht nur beim Einstieg mit vielen Tipps, sie beantwortet auch viele Fragen von Fortgeschrittenen. #Bluesky brauche ich jedenfalls nicht.

Für alle, die noch relativ #neuhier sind, habe ich ein paar #Mastodon Tipps und Tricks in meinem Blog zusammengestellt (und eben nochmal erweitert um die exakte Wirkung der Sterne 🌟). Schaut mal rein: https://thomas-ebinger.de/2022/11/meine-mastodon-tipps-und-tricks/

Musk bought the users not the platform. Users have been kidnapped and will be *forced* to use or even pay for this new platform & services bc they are held ransom by their follower base. Eg posting content to 'their community' but 90% of those followers won't see it unless it is pay-to-be-seen content. This applies to every user and follower base in some way. The only viable decision in the long run is to leave Twitter.

Elon Musk's X launches two new premium subscription plans

Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, rolled out two new subscription plans on Friday, including a Premium+ tier for users willing to pay for an ad-free experience.

I don't even WANT to post about #Twitter anymore, but it's simply disaster tourism at this point. I can't look away.

Even with how fucking dirty #YouTube is getting with their adblock-blocking and Premium pushing: $11 USD monthly gets you ZERO advertisements on the platform, as opposed to #Twitter Premium+ €16 EU (or "only" 14 if you pay yearly).

How absolutely farcical.

#Twitter takeover: how a year of Elon Musk rendered the platform useless

#X now resembles a creature from The Walking Dead – rotting, dangerous and a shadow of its former self.

Twitter takeover: how a year of Elon Musk rendered the platform useless

We’ve watched in horrified fascination as the town square that was once the world’s collective pulse has gone up in flames

The Guardian

The addiction to Elmo's site is real.

A full article lamenting what a cesspool Elmo's site has become since his takeover. Yet the X share button is still prominently displayed. The author laments the lack of an alternative, but shares no info about where they might be found, thus rendering any discoverability outside of the site he claims is now useless.

EDIT: for typo.

This is what #twitter is right now: Musk and cryptocurrency.
I selected many times the option to see less of Elon Musk. I was never interested in crypto. Now they are on the top of my noficitations. What a great feeling to leave it behind #socialmedia #apps

Is it unreasonable to believe that #Israel is walking into a carefully set trap in #Gaza and that it would be both the moral choice and strategically wise not to respond to the #Hamas atrocity so predictably? This is the source of my dread, watching a catastrophe slowly and inevitably unfold.

As consumers, we've become conditioned to expect personalised online experiences, all tailored to our interests and needs.

But when asked, we say we’re uncomfortable with the data collection processes that make it possible.

It’s time to pick a side.
