Post, the new platform, has a major problem.
It’s trying to build a monopoly on news payments. It looks like it’s aiming to be the “Uber of news.”

Do we really want to do that?? (No. )

New from me, on Substack.

Let’s skip Post. It’s not going to be good for users, news outlets, or democracy. Mastodon is a better choice.

#Newcomers to #Mastodon keep in mind when you see people telling you how easy things are and telling you how to do things, someone on Mastodon just ran a poll with hundreds of responses and 1/3 of the people said they ran their own email server.

So take it all with a grain of salt.

Exactly two years ago, we started to post links on #Mastodon via our account @heiseonline 👇

https://mastodon.social/@heiseonline/109314036284496776

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.

The week is over, here are some charts:
For two weeks in a row, #Mastodon brought more #traffic than #X / #Twitter to heise.de.
But I forgot, that's not just via @heiseonline, but also @heisec, @ct_Magazin, @heiseautos, @iX_Magazin etc. (but for Twitter its the same).

#Bluesky is way behind, #Threads even more. Only Twitter is clearly falling.

We are, hopefully, soon to be seeing an influx of new users as more folks realize X is the Nazi bar.

Please be kind to them, even though they are not perfect. They may not know all the best practices and, yes, most of us here agree they should have left sooner. Support their efforts to improve, as improving is all we can really do.

And consider following more new accounts, particularly of journalists and creatives whose livlihoods may depend on social media reach.
