The funny part is these numbers are minuscule compared to Twitters user base but enormous to Mastodon user base. So why the aggressive policy changes that make Mastodon look so much more threatening to Twitter? Monster from their id. Forbidden Planet, anyone?
Want to join Mastodon with a drinks focused server? Of course you do! This is why you follow me. To learn about things like this. Remember, you can follow anyone on any Mastodon server, so don’t feel like it’s a walled garden… it’s just the first garden you start strolling from.
@Caskproof Hit me up with your questions! I run my own server and have a bit of useless info to share! 😂 First up… like email, you need to share your handle and server. @[email protected] with federated servers people will only find you by handle alone if they are on the same server
@mdf200 Ah true, you can export all the data, so you can extract and use the images to setup again, but the rest is hidden in JSON. Seems ripe for an update to import them and make that easier.
@mdf200 it’s respectful of the federated nature of the servers. Last thing you want is duplicates of posts & attachments on a new server. They make it easy to export and import things that don’t automatically transfer. Plus, old profile still exists and points to new. It’s pretty slick.
@rumdood Guess the RumDood social media empire is as well staffed as SporitedGeek LLC. Every tween I send is review by a staff of editors and social media experts to ensure maximum impact.
@dsoneil @noplasticshower PeerTube is the Fediverse version. You might want to try throwing old content out there and see if anything develops. Folks on Mastodon and Fediverse are far more STEM geeks then the average YouTuber. More your videos’ audience.
@AbsquenihilMy It’s like going to a supermarket to get food for dinner and seeing prices have increased and being told about a recall. Then going to a commune where you picked from a garden you tended and sitting around the table enjoying your meal and sharing stories and hugged as you left.
The more I use Mastodon and connect with the Fediverse community and paradigm… the more and more I hate using Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. I’ll be phasing out my use of Twitter and Instagram for all my accounts soon. If you find yourself there, please find me. Link in bio.
@AbsquenihilMy The tools are made with mindfulness to foster a considerate community. The iPhone app I use, “Toot!” Has quirky Easter eggs that elevates your experience. You aren’t assaulted and put on blinders to engage, no ads, no people trying to build followers as a brand.
@rumdood@richcampbell@codeopinion My son moved to AZ for college and as an old web developer my eye twitches every time he says he’ll call me at X o’clock.
