Na denn, @Gargron, viel Spass mit den Jüngern von
Olavo de #Carvalho dem so genannten "Guru" von #Bolsonaro .. .

Die hatten bereits Anfang/Mitte des letzten Jahrzehntes aus dem Nichts einen #diaspora* Server mit 25k Nutzern (theRealTalk.org) aufgezogen bevor sie dann urplötzlich die Wahlen gewannen.

Das wird bestimmt ein Riesenerfolg für #mastodon und das #fediVerse in dieser Runde ..

Now it would be a good time for journalists, politicians and *scientists* to set up and use an account on #Mastodon

Musk considers removing X platform from Europe over EU law - Insider

Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, is considering removing the service formerly called Twitter from Europe in response to a new internet platform regulation in the region, news site Insider reported on Wednesday.

I am excited to share the preliminary results of survey research with @cfiesler, @MattNicholson, and @blakeley exploring the factors driving the #TwitterMigration since November 2022. (1/N) #TheorizingTheFediverse

An Exploration of the Twitter to Mastodon Migration

On the eve of Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in October 2022, he declared “the bird is freed.” In the name of creating “a common digital town square” for the “future of civilization,” Musk’s…

For those that might be new to the #Fediverse and to #Mastodon in general, I've written a few tips and tricks to help you get started.

While this isn't a complete list, I feel it's a great place to get started and what can help you find good content and to help others find you and what you are interested in.

Follow Climate Scientists on Mastodon

There was a recent thread about #climate scientists leaving twitter and establishing a presence on Mastodon: mastodon.online/@mastodonmigra…

Here is a climatelist.csv file of the #ClimateScience accounts mentioned in this thread: drive.google.com/file/d/1uQYbF…

You can save this file and import it to Mastodon to follow all of the these accounts.

You can then create a "Climate" list and go through your most recent follows and add them to this list.

When you post on Twitter(1) or Bluesky(2) you grant them a broad perpetual license to use, modify, and sublicense your content. You effectively make them co-owners of your content. They can mine it and monetize it. They can even sell it. When you post on Mastodon(3) most instances take no license at all. That's right, they tell you what they are doing with your content—storing posts and delivering them—but no license.

New research from my team on the #TwitterMigration:

This is our first quarterly update analyzing which platforms are growing - esp #mastodon & #postnews. Includes new data on users posting, app downloads & more.

Any help boosting and sharing out this new work is very appreciated!

Hi #science #research #mastodon community! A few days ago, a post of mine recieved a lot of attention. Thanks for the engagement and the very interesting suggestions! neuromatch.social/@LeonDLotter…

On #Twitter, I loved the common practice of writing threads explaining new #preprints and #papers in an understandable way.
I uttered my concern that through the chronological timeline here people might miss interesting science. A solution would be to agree on names for hashtags and/or a.gup.pe groups to ease tracking these "paper threads".

Following tags were named more then once: #newPaper #paperThread #preprint #researchPaper #mastoPrint #tootPrint.
Also, there was #tootorial, but that might be a slightly different category?

I heard people like participation - so let's do a poll! What's your favourite tag for threads explaining research articles? 📊​ Multiple choices possible!

Leon Lotter (@LeonDLotter@neuromatch.social)

On #scienceTwitter, my favourite thing was reading and, on rare occasions, writing "paper/preprint threads". From the researchers I followed and through the #Twitter algorithm, this became my most important source for new #research.

@Gargron While there is certainly room for improvement, and improvements to threading do seem to be on the roadmap (joinmastodon.org/roadmap), threading in Mastodon is actually pretty good.

Here is a pretty (...way too?) detailed explainer on how to thread in Mastodon:

I've put together a small, but incomplete, list of instances/communities with POC moderators. Mastodon.social, and Mastodon online, are not it.

weirder.earth, rage.love, scholar.social, blacktwitter.io, Mastodon.art, queer.garden, writeout.ink, mastodon.ie,.

Evan Prodromou, who helped inspire & create the #ActivityPub protocol that makes @Mastodon run, called this recent #Twittermigration a “tipping point”.

“I have not been this excited about federated social networks since we published ActivityPub. The shift has started. … We’re doing this. Don’t be on the wrong side of history.” @evan

Blog post here: evanp.me/2022/11/11/its-happen…

It’s happening

I have not been this excited about federated social networks since we published ActivityPub. The shift has started. Get a Mastodon account as soon as you can. Set up servers for your companies, you…

Howdy! Here's a brief #introduction repost since I just moved to scholar.social. I am a Black, queer and trans social worker and PhD student at Dalhousie University (Halifax, NS), so sciences.social seemed like a good fit. My research is about how anti-Black homophobia serves to limit access to health and social service care for Black gbtq+MSM in Canada. More info about me here! 👉🏾 vincentmousseau.net

Hi all, I'm seeing efforts by different disciplines moving out of twitter to reconnect on Mastodon. Lets try to do this for urban/housing twitter!

Please fill out this form if you are a journalist, student, practitioner, or scholar of cities, urban planning, housing, urbanism, etc. tinyurl.com/yuxu77kv

And, if you want to see the list, the spreadsheet is here: tinyurl.com/5n7fkus7

Please circulate/boost in your networks! #urban #twittermigration #housing #cities #gentrification

Urban/Housing Mastodon

To help with the twitter migration, were making a list of urbanist/housing mastodon. Academics, journalists, practitioners, students.

I see quite a lot of #Science posts expressing concern if The Public will follow their authors' #TwitterMigration over on here.

Here's the thing: they don't even have to. Every #Mastodon account has an #RSS feed. For example, here's mine:
mstdn.social/@rysiek.rss

Every hashtag has an RSS feed as well (as seen from a given instance), for example:
mstdn.social/tags/Science.rss

Your audiences can follow you without ever setting up an account on fedi, with any RSS reader.

Someone in a prison in #georgia sent me this. It is rat droppings in the cereal.

I’m posting this bc I am a #journalist who covers #prisons so I post a lot about deteriorating conditions behind bars. On the bird app ppl tend to respond with the worst things they can think of to say about how prisoners deserve this. I’m curious how people will respond over here… #TwitterMigration
