Once that's available, while I'm still in transition from Twitter to Mastodon, I'm hoping to use Buffer to cross-post some of the links I share. (both on Twitter & Mastodon)
#edutooter #TwitterMigration
The upshot of this dataviz is that, after a brief holiday break, the vast majority (>80%) of large and/or notable Mastodon accounts remain *very* active. A plurality have posted within the last 24 hrs.
While people start to do the same on #Mastodon, I have the feeling that I miss important work bc no algorithm "saves" it for me if I don't watch my timeline constantly.
Two simple solutions would be: a commonly accepted hashtag that everybody uses when writing "paper threads" or an [...] @ a.gup.pe group with a similar adaptation rate.
#Question 1: is there already a mechanism for this that I missed?
#Question 2: What hashtag or group name?
I saw #TootPrint before. Maybe #PaperInAToot? #PaperInAPost? #PaperInAThread? #PaperPost? #MastoPrint?
Suggestions and boosts, please, we need reach for this! 🤓

When we quote retweet on the birdsite, it's usually about adding our own commentary:
🐦 THIS is why this is important to ME...
🐦 MY opinion is more compelling because...
🐦 THAT'S NOTHING! Listen to MY story...
When we quote retweet, we take someone else's post and make it about US. This can get problematic when the original tweet was from from a #bipoc, #indigenous, #LGBTQPlus, or other #marginalized or #vulnerable person.
When we boost a toot, we're using OUR voices and influence to amplify others'. And we're doing so on their terms, not our own. If we feel strongly about the original post, we can always add our own voices to the conversation, but without using our #privilege to talk over people who might need to be heard more than us.

Twitter rival Mastodon rejects funding to preserve nonprofit status
Open-source microblogging site has seen surge of interest since Musk took over Twitter.Ars Technica
1. Right now, the problem with Twitter is Elon Musk's silly moderation and political posturing. But soon it will be stability -- and when Twitter stops working, that's when the *real* #TwitterMigration happens.
2. Auctioning off Twitter usernames is *so* desperate!
3. If Apple or the FTC shuts down Twitter access, Twitter users really will have to migrate -- they'll have no choice!
We really need to start planning for these eventualities!
You're in a new place. Chill out and take time to learn what makes it special.

Hypocrisy and Fear All the Way Down at Twitter
After you’ve drawn such a strong distinction on speech and human freedom, you can’t make any mistake about the side on which you belong.isaac-schorr (Mediaite)
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction
Space Karen Sucks
Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinationsspacekaren.sucks
Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.
It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.
We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

Whenever you see someone who is #BIPOC speak up about the lack of #diversity on Mastodon... You don't need to give your opinion, you don't need to correct them about their own experience, you don't need to highlight the wonders of the fediverse. Just don't.
Instead, please listen to what they say, and remember that reach here is mediated by boosts, so instead of telling them to invite more people over—or to become Mastodon leaders of their community...
... Just boost them
Make a conscious effort to follow people who are #BIPOC and boost their posts.
Boost posts by non-white marginalized communities so you can help their voices reach farther.

This is a tweet from 2021:
"It's typical the new media *have always* used subtle propaganda to hit emotionally. In the old days "It sold papers" nowadays it sells our information to advertisers. "
It was really obvious after reading Walter Lippmann, Jacques Ellull, Popper, John Dewey and Chomsky himself. The trick is going to be in proving Lippmann wrong.

Mastodon the great leveler? Could Mastodon end up bringing democracy to the masses by finally giving us a social media platform for the people?
The role of Propaganda in social media I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. Remembering quotes like these: “It is no longer possible to hold the simple faith of the Enlightenment tha…Yet another atheist late to the party
“Relying on market-based means of communication made it inevitable that sooner or later, the ruling class would get to determine who can speak and how.”
