Installed yet another weather app, @helloweather, after reading about it here. Good privacy policy. Indie developers. My kind of thing.

Noticed the app had links to Twitter and not to Mastodon and asked them about that.

And got a great response!
"we’re not active on Twitter anymore. Our new version (coming soon) will kill off the Twitter links!"

I'm a digital craftsman (I can't call myself an artist) & working on 3D modeling / sculpting / texturing / environment & character design. I'm interested in few different subjects including horror & hentai. I hope you enjoy & thanks for looking! Comments, likes & re-posts are welcome

I am only 3 minutes into this video by @fedihost / @paige and can already tell you its good.

Yes, Mastodon has replay guy / friendly fire problem. I do experience it occasionally. But in Mastodon I also experience how people honesty delighted share my crafts and give me complements about them where even in the old Twitter I've already would have received at least two queerfobic takes about some rainbow lights in the back corner of a picture. So, yes, I'm glad that I found this place.

#fluConf2025 will include a track on independent publishing and archival. We want to hear stories of what's being done to create non-corporate spaces on the web and preserve the media big companies so often erase.

Tell us about your motivations and experience moving from big platforms like Substack, Twitter, Instagram, and Wix to self-hosted or communally-operated alternatives.

Share your insights into the world of for-profit journals in academia, and efforts to establish better options not based on extraction.

How do you adapt to challenges like the falling adoption of established syndication protocols like RSS, the costs of AI scraping, and ever-changing search engine algorithms? How do you keep up with legal requirements for content moderation and age verification?

With so many corporate platforms shutting down, changing policies on media retention, or moving to monetize content for AI training: how have you gone about archiving your media? What tools and techniques have you used to ensure it isn't lost? How do we resist corporate capture of independent media and foster conditions for more long-lived infrastructure?

Apply up until midnight of January 19th, 2025 (anywhere on Earth)

#MastodonMigration #TwitterExodus

Stolen from @billyjoebowers :

Follow people and hashtags, lots of them. That's how this place works, there is no other way really. If you're waiting for stuff to come to you it aint gonna happen.

Start typing hashtags of things you're interested in and follow them. Put them in your introduction and/or bio.

Start following anyone that looks slightly interesting. Follow people who boost a lot and anyone they boost that looks interesting.

Well, now I really missed it, after all my hard work in preparation

@heiseonline has closed its account on #X/ #Twitter yesterday. I'm sure at least, that my stats had a part in this.

Now let's keep the alternatives rolling, we're active on #Bluesky, #Threads, #Mastodon of course and many more.

Ach du meine Güte, jetzt hab ich das am Mittwoch überhapt nicht mitbekommen:
@heiseonline hat sich von #X/ #Twitter verabschiedet!

Da findet sich nur noch ein Hinweis auf die Kanäle bei #Bluesky, #Threads, #Mastodon etc.

Auf #bluesky mach sich der #twitterexodus stark bemerkbar. Mir folgen dort jeden Tag mehr Leute. Hier im #fediverse sehe ich dagegen wenige #neuhier Toots...

Friends and colleagues on #Mastodon: let's make this our new platform instead of replacing one commercial site (#X #Twitter)
for another one ( #bluesky ). #fediverse and community-owned social media is the future!

Besides, what is the point of replacing a toxic far-right platform full of antivaxxers with a liberal bubble filled with hysterical #facemask fetischists and #ZeroCovid fanatics?

Der #TwitterExodus geht weiter

#eXit: Twitter ist leider kaputt › Blog von #ArminWolf

Im Februar 2009 hat meine Beziehung mit #Twitter begonnen - knapp 16 Jahre und 126.725 Tweets später hört sie jetzt wieder auf.

Just read a news article detailing the primary alternatives to Twitter (Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon), in which Bluesky is tagged as home to nerds, but Mastodon is home to super nerds, so now I'm confident my super nerdery will force traffic lights and wifi connections to bend to my super nerdy will.
Booyah!
#Xodus #TwitterExodus #GreatTwitterExodus

The next time everyone migrates from one microblogging platform to another, could we do it onto one with account portability? Like if you move your account in the #Fediverse (#Mastodon etc.) you'll take your followers with you. #BlueskyMigration #TwitterExodus #Xodus

Welcome (back) to all the new and returning #Mastodon and #fediverse users! I hope you find this to be friendlier and less chaotic space to connect with new friends and maybe some old ones, too!
