But it was challenging to find more, that aren't already also active there. Any suggestions, whom I could add?

Because let's build more bridges!

The point is not for political parties to see the potential here, but rather to see the risk. The only way to fix this is to ban user profiling.

You have made a good choice to move the the Fediverse. It would help for more of your friends to join us.

It took longer, than I expected, but here we are: it seems like this account now brings continuously more #traffic to heise.de than #X (#Twitter) in its entirety, although it only has ¼ of the follower number (and many of them don't seem to be active anymore).
I'll prepare some graphs after the weekend.

I greatly curtailed my usage of the platform since November 2023, when my employer @Flipboard pulled back from engagement. And I haven't posted since April but kept it open for work reasons (to monitor news, etc.).

Why today? The U.S. election made clear how many of my fellow Americans live entirely in "alternative facts" ecosystems. I no longer wish to participate in such a platform — so rife with unchecked misinformation and disinformation ... basically an outrage machine where the algorithm rewards lies and conspiracy theories.

If you're still on X, why?

I screenshot my profile for posterity. And here's also Flipboard's 2023 announcement.

Strongly agree with @pluralistic and same for me: https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/ulysses-pact/

💯 Totally on board with this. I read Cory's article this morning and realized that is exactly what I was complaining to my banker about a few months back. I would love to give #RBC the boot but it would just be so painful and costly. It should be as easy as changing cell phone provider (or #Mastodon instance for that matter).

Then again these new rules are only for USA. Canadian banks will continue to rape and pillage til the cows come home.

I write my bachelor's thesis about Mastodon as an alternative social network and how its users perceive the platform.

I would be gratful if you would participate in my survey:
https://umfragen.uni-paderborn.de/index.php/346443?lang=en

It only takes 10-15 minutes and would help me a lot.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

In case you want to support me, you can repost the access link, which would also help me.

Thank you!

I'm Hannah and currently working on the research project to understand the role of #Mastodon in #academia during my internship here.

If you haven’t done so already, please consider participating in the project. I would love to hear from you:

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has already participated in the survey! It is really insightful to read your opinions and experiences.

* Running two Mastodon instances against each other
* Running Mastodon against WordPress + plugins

and even running three Mastodon instances against each other, for tests such as "if A posts, B reshares, and C gets it, and then A deletes the post, will it disappear on C" Happy to report that in case of Mastodon, it does!

You can get an RSS feed for any mastodon account by appending ".rss" to the URL.

My local public transit - @hochbahn - runs a mastodon account and also provides info about service disruptions there. So i just subscribe to that account, instead using apps like Telegram or Notify for it. No ads, no tracking.
