Mastodon 🐘

Jouissance Doecontains profanity; guillotines implied albeit not specifically mentioned; twitter refugees welcomed because that's just how I roll

Jordan “Yordan” WightOh shit, somehow it never crossed my mind that users from TikTok would come over here.Welcome to all of you <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TikTokRefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TikTokRefugees</a>. You all seem more decent than Redditors and most <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TwitterRefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TwitterRefugees</a>.

Zuri (he/him) 🕐 CET<a href="https://mstdn.games/@EliteMooseTaskForce" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@EliteMooseTaskForce</a> Officially, they are called "toots", but in general, they can be called "posts" and <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TwitterRefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TwitterRefugees</a> tend to still call them "tweets", which is not exactly correct but gets the point across. I hope, that clears things up and doesn't confuse :)

Black Stagwelcome <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/twitterrefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twitterrefugees</a> take my hand and i will show you around the fediverse

Corin Ashwell 🌍 🌿 🍄🏳️‍⚧️Happy to read that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> is attracting <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TwitterRefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TwitterRefugees</a> but slightly worried that a critical mass might develop over there and I'll feel pressured to join in. I logged out of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Xdotcom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xdotcom</a> a while ago for obvious reasons & I feel like I get as much scrolling microblogging as I need here on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> plus I am happy that this place cannot be bought & sold<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/nov/12/us-election-bluesky-users-flee-x-twitter-trump-musk" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/nov/12/us-election-bluesky-users-flee-x-twitter-trump-musk</a>

sheislaurenceMy <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LinkedIn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinkedIn</a> is awash with people commenting about their dilemma of using <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/elonmusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elonmusk</a>'s <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hellsite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hellsite</a>, as if, AS IF they'd only just woken up to his <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fascist</a> agenda? I mean, what about the 2 MILLION OF US who migrated here in 2022 very much because WE KNEW? Anyone remembers the hashtag <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/twitterrefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twitterrefugees</a>? I suspect it is the threat of legal action with the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OnlineSafetyAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OnlineSafetyAct</a> that finally got them to move their heads out of their arses. If only they wouldn't sing the praises of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Threads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Threads</a> & <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a>...🤔

Cătă<a href="https://mastodon.social/users/_elena" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@_elena</a> I was never into microblogging, but I had a rather deep (so to say) attachment to Facebook. That's why Mastodon never caught up to me. I also happened to migrate to fedi right before the first wave of <a href="https://libranet.de/search?tag=twitterrefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twitterrefugees</a>, so I inevitably got some content right from the get-go, more than I expected. I do not really find the name Friendica bad, albeit a little funny, but the promotion really is.Nevertheless, I highly recommend Friendica to anyone looking for a home/swiss-army knife of the Fediverse. Highly useful with everything one would wish from Mastodon: <ul><li> Crazy formatting options (here's an overline);</li><li> Posts with titles;</li><li> Inline images/media inside posts, allowing for richer creativity (cannot demonstrate in a way visible on Mastodon;</li><li> Groups, Pages for various topics (news, organizations etc.);</li><li> A crazy amount of sorting options;</li><li> Integrated Calendar, allowing you to create or join events from all over fedi;</li><li> Threaded discussions (on multiple levels) that allow you to easily follow all the replies;</li><li> Like/Dislike buttons ('cuz you cannot like anything and everything, right? Right, Zuck?)</li><li> Posts and comments as long as your heart desires;</li><li> And many more.</li></ul> The amount of options might seem overwhelming, but I'm sure one could find their use one way or another.<a href="https://pixelfed.social/users/dansup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@dansup</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/users/cheeaun" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@cheeaun</a> <a href="https://tapbots.social/users/ivory" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ivory</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/users/phanpy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@phanpy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/users/IceCubesApp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@IceCubesApp</a>

Sacha Ligthert 🇳🇱🇬🇧In short, I have faith that this democratized little network will be fine. Even when the <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/twitterrefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twitterrefugees</a> started to pollute and take over some parts, the rest was just fine.Let's enjoy the ride. 😎

Jupiter Rowland@<a href="https://metrobus.masto.host/@dogzilla" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dogzilla</a> @<a href="https://beekeeping.ninja/@Pagan_Animist" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Exiled New Yorker - Connie</a> To be fair, it's undeniable that there are these vastly different factions in the Fediverse. The Old Guard, @<a href="https://moppels.bar/@crossgolf_rebel" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">crossgolf_rebel 🤍 on Calckey :firefish:</a> is one of them, has been around since long before there was even Mastodon. The Fediverse didn't start with Mastodon. The Fediverse as we have it now started in 2010 with Friendica, almost 6 years before Mastodon, and it also included Hubzilla which started life in 2012. Both projects which were and still are for extreme tech geeks because even Friendica is too unwieldy for your typical casual social media user. So that Old Guard consists of absolute über-geeks on Linux PCs and laptops, many of whom run their own instances without any help from Docker or Yunohost. From their perspective, it was Mastodon which had arrived and federated with Friendica and Hubzilla, not the other way around, because Friendica and Hubzilla had been there first, and Mastodon had always spoken a language which they spoke, too. Needless to say that they find Mastodon ridiculously underequipped and underwhelming. In fact, Mastodon's refusal to even support certain features of other projects makes life harder for them if they want to stay compatible with Mastodon. Then you have the millions of Twitter refugees, almost all of whom were mollycoddled and railroaded to their first Fediverse home with as little explanation as possible. They're completely different. They're mostly not very interested in technology, and more of them feel disturbed by Linux talk than use Linux. In fact, most of them are on phones. Many didn't even know that Mastodon is decentralised until a few months in. Most thought that the Fediverse is only vanilla Mastodon for at least their first three months, during which they got used to their nice and cosy and fluffy and friendly Mastodon-only Fediverse with no posts longer than 500 characters and no text formatting and no quotes etc. As they're so numerous, they managed to shape Fediverse culture around being non-tech and, worse yet, around the Fediverse being only vanilla Mastodon. And yes, completely disregarding the Old Guard because they knew neither the Old Guard nor the places where the Old Guard resides. When they came across their first "toot" that looked "weird" because it wasn't a vanilla Mastodon toot, they were greatly disturbed. They felt like whatever project that post came from, Akkoma, CalcKey, Friendica, Hubzilla, whatever, had maliciously intruded into their nice and cosy and fluffy and friendly Mastodon-only Fediverse. And they wanted that to go away again. They did not want to read what they were told then: Friendica and Hubzilla are not intruders. They were here first. They had been here years before there was even Mastodon. There has never been a time during which the Fediverse was only vanilla Mastodon. It's such people who demand that the users of everything that isn't vanilla Mastodon limit what they do to what's possible on vanilla Mastodon in order not to disturb those who want the Fediverse to be only vanilla Mastodon. No posts longer than 500 characters, no text formatting, no quotes, no embedded images which don't work on Mastodon anyway, no embedded hyperlinks (only URLs in plain sight instead) etc. I guess it's clear why the users of everything from Akkoma to Firefish to Friendica to Hubzilla refuse to let themselves be limited by the vastly more numerous Mastodon users. Well, and then there's the third faction. It's those who have never really arrived in the Fediverse. They don't want anything different. They want Twitter without Musk. Now they're sitting on mastodon.social or another big general-purpose instance and patiently waiting for Bluesky to open registrations because Bluesky is much closer to Twitter without Musk. These people use Mastodon exactly like they used to use Twitter. Official app only, no more than 280 characters, no alt-texts, no hashtags (what do you mean, Mastodon does not have The Algorithm), no content warnings etc. The only way they've adapted to Mastodon, if at all, was <code>s/tweet/toot</code>. #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Long" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Long</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=LongPost" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">LongPost</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWLong" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CWLong</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWLongPost" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CWLongPost</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fediverse</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Mastodon</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Friendica</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=TwitterMigration" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">TwitterMigration</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=TwitterRefugees" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">TwitterRefugees</a>

Susanne LilithIch verstehe ja, dass die Leute sich nach <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Twitter</a> auf andere Netzwerke verteilen. Aber eine Nachsendeadresse wäre schon schön teils, damit man in Kontakt bleiben kann. So verlieren sich Gemeinschaften und der Gedankenaustausch erlischt. Alle verlieren dabei. <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/twitterrefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twitterrefugees</a>

Indy Richard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Over in the strange birdie site, Elon Musk tells the world he about to remove the ability to block users who resort to bullying and harassment. Whether this for supposed 'free speech' or because he wants advertisers to have full access to everyone, who knows. One thing for certain, we'll see another massive surge of new users over here on Mastodon. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Twitterrefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Twitterrefugees</a>

Bèr Kessels 🐝 🚐 🏄 🌱Dear <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/twitterrefugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twitterrefugees</a>.The <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> are Twitter alternatives. Not clones.So expect things to be different. Maybe a feature you relied on is missing. Maybe an account won't migrate. Maybe people interact different. Or expect you to interact differently.That's the whole point though. It's different "by design". If that's not good for you, you can try to help change it. Or accept it is different and move on. But always realize it was never the plan to make an exact copy.
