50 WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR TWITTER
You just pin your last tweet, Pete,
Request your archive, Clive,
You don’t need a blue tick, Vic,
Just get yourself free.
Hop on the tusk, Gus,
You don’t need to delete much,
Except your DMs, Jen,
And get yourself free.
Use Debirdify, Di,
Provide some alt tags, Mags,
Add a content warning, Tim,
To post sensitively.
Remember to boost,Ruth,
You don't need to deny truth,
Just drop off the perch,Dirk,
And get yourself free.
#VerseThursday #TwitterMigration #FediTips
When I get to 100,000 followers on Mastodon I will officially bring Mastodons back from extinction.
Boost and favorite this post to help make this happen ASAP.
For your first day on Mastodon, just a few humbly suggested steps! Welcome to the party!
1) Consider if you're on the server for you, your hobbies, and your moderation desires. You can always migrate your account, later. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/
2) Make a profile! These can be longer than Twitter ones - and you can format them with line breaks, italics (using asterix), and loads of emoji if your server supports markup. Check the emoji on your server, here! https://emojos.in/
3) If you liked who you followed on Twitter, use https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/ and/or https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ to create a csv of all the people you followed there to upload into Mastodon, using the web menu option Preferences > Import. Now you are following the same folks!
4) Using https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/, you can also export your Twitter blocklist, and import it using the same function in Mastodon.
5) Create an introduction post! Use lots of hashtags to help people find you and your interests, as there's no algorithm or string search function here. Make sure to add the hashtag introduction!
6) Get used to using hashtags in your posts regularly, so that people can find them manually or using the hashtag following function, or the rss feed function.
7) Use CWs liberally, to help people decide what to see. Follow your server's guidelines, but definitely CW those movie spoilers!
8) Use alt text in your images whenever possible, to help people with screen readers enjoy it here, too!
9) Enjoy your new community, and have a lot of fun!
