Fedi-friends: if you get value from the fediverse, please consider donating to support your instance. Most instances are completely volunteer run and funded via donations. Some instances charge a fee to have an account, and that model likely works well. I, and many others, believe that it’s important for people who may not be able to afford it to have a social connection.
If you are able to, and not already doing so, I ask you to please consider supporting your instance. I am extremely fortunate to have generous members, however not instances are so fortunate, so here I am, asking on their behalf.
I appreciate all of you and hope you have a great week.
@jerry What he said - The #Fediverse isn’t like #X you’ll see no ads but it’d be enormously helpful to “toss a coin to “the Witcher” If it helps to think of the #admins as Geralt well...what ever works, cause THEY are what keeps this place
working & they’re doing an amazing job. They keep the gears running & the monsters at bay. Make sure it’s your server #instance that you tip & not just Mastodon or you could do both if you want to. 🥰 #twittermigration
Hello dear #mastodonart ‼️ My name is Kerem. I'm a digital artist & photographer. I'm a horror, hentai, synthwave & melodic rock fan. I'm also interested in Cyberpunk, Irish Mythology & Japanese Culture. Migrating from Twitter after 15+ years.
I thought it's time to write a proper #introduction ☺️ Nice To Meet You All 👋
Looking through my feed, certain people are really angry that, even though they blocked Threads already, Threads still uses ActivityPub.
Logically, blocking should be enough. They even created a Fedipact. Problem solved, right?
But I think what really bothers them is that Threads is nevertheless using ActivityPub.
Look, in my ideal world everyone would be operating their own Fediverse servers. That’s exactly what I’m doing with atomicpoet.org. But I’m an edge case right now.
If you want to kill Meta, then people who use Meta’s services must be aware of the Fediverse. Right now, most of them know nothing about it. Those who do know about it dismiss it as geekery.
So how are we planning to bring more people to the Fediverse? Do you even want more people or would you rather keep this place an exclusive club?
The notion that the Fediverse is an exclusive club is an illusion. We should have learned that lesson during the #TwitterMigration, but it looks like we’ll learn that lesson yet again.
It's been a long time since I was invited to leave Twitter, and I left (now I'm the happiest person in the world in Mastodon). Now they invite me to leave Reddit... where am I going? #twittermigration#reddit#helpmastodon
#AskMastodon has anyone heard if the major social media management apps are adding or have added Mastodon? I feel this has been a major reason we haven't seen broader adoption in the corporate or government space.
Reply with software suggestions?
Feel free to bookmark this post/thread. I will add/update with the suggestions including which ones need some encouragement! 😊
There's no alternative to Twitter. Don't try to say there is.
Yes, some-called Twitter alternatives might offer longer posting/features that Twitter doesn't have, but that's not what made Twitter to be Twitter.
The Twitter I knew was a small place, with best moderation on scam/spam, and no NSFW, etc. The community was neat and it was really fun to spend time talking in Twitter.
Führt eigentlich jemand eine Liste, welche öffentlichen Einrichtungen bzw. welche Bildungs(-nahen) Einrichtungen #X#Twitter für #Mastodon verlassen haben?
Hi, I moved here because Twitter sucks even worse now (I'll be honest, the dancing kitty gif as an icon sold me) and the fact that people here are most likely to be nice.
I've been using linux on and off since 2012. Oddly into french death metal now. I like anime and fanfiction. I have a soft kitty.
THREAD: I made a series of images for an Instagram post I made about migrating to the fediverse. I figured I'd share with anyone else who wants to use, so I included some blank template versions too. DM if you'd like the Adobe Illustrator file so you can make your own edits. And please,comment if I got anything wrong so I can correct it.
So, this is fun. We are their worst nightmare. Turn's out Mastodon "falls short for businesses" because it lacks "advertising support," says an ad industry publication.
"Social media has become one of the most powerful tools businesses can leverage for advertising... Mastodon, on the other hand, does not offer an advertising platform to businesses."
