Interesting to note, though, that while they changed the logo everywhere else, Musk forgot to tell them to change the Favicon, so the bird is still flying in your tabs.
A small detail, but it exemplifies how sloppy this rebranding attempt is.
President Barack Obama is in the Threads house you’all 💙💙💙
I wanted to take a moment to thank the librarians across the country who’ve been working every day to protect our freedom to read.
If you hear stories about #JohnMastodon, they're not real-- well, maybe not.😏
Just remember: There is no algorithm here for people who do not follow you to find you. The best way to have your toots seen is by using lots of hashtags (like these👇👇👇 ).
Be sure to follow @feditips for more helpful #newbie information.
Something odd is happening when you try and search the bird app for Threads links / A search for Threads content on the bird app currently brings up zero results, despite plenty of links to Meta’s microblogging rival being posted on the platform.
Celebrities, lawmakers, brands and everyday social media users are flocking to Meta’s freshly minted app Threads to connect with their followers, including many bird app refugees tired of the drama surrounding Elmo’s raucous oversight of that platform since acquiring it last year.
On Threads, soon you will be able to follow and interact with people on other Fediverse platforms, like Mastodon. They can also find you with your full username @garygoosey5050
A list of my video walkthroughs for #Mastodon newbies! Intended to help #ofmd#ofmdtwt folks in the #TwitterMigration to #OFMDstadon - but I hope they're useful to all who need help! Will be updated as more get created.
Ha! Internet Today is covering the Twitter meltdown from over the weekend and showcasing a toot from @sysop408 that perfectly summed up the situation! Points for Mastadon
Idk whether to laugh or weep over all the horny gay pirates who are gonna move over to #Threads, discover they can't even say "fuck" without getting slapped, and then find they CAN'T EVEN DELETE without losing their whole Instagram 😭
I mean. Can't even cuss, so the E rated fanart and SMAU content is a nonstarter. Good LORD. #OFMD#TwitterExodus
@gbhnews I got on mastodon during the first #twitterexodus and while I haven't used it all that much it was a great decision to start an account here I must say
For those new here from #twitter to #mastodon may I suggest @FediFollows as well as @feditips. If you’re interested in running your own server I personally use @mastohost for managing my service, simple to setup and pay them, been using them for months and it’s cheaper than Twitter blue for many individuals, but inexpensively can scale if you become more popular as I have been. Enjoy your time tooting posts away #twittermigration#welcome
Another #Mastotip for this megathread of tips for people new to #Mastodon from #Twitter. I was just introduced to Followgraph, which lets you plug your profile in and graph out who your follow's are following, so you can possibly find more interesting accounts to follow! https://followgraph.vercel.app

Day 177 and #Twitter users are surprised that #ElonMusk’s decision to remove #bluecheck validation is causing chaos and the creation of impersonation accounts. That could never have been predicted?
#Decentralized#SocialMedia is the solution for exposure to willful and arbitrary behavior by egomaniacal billionaires
#Twitter is not worried about the reported 100 million #Threads signups, it’s just blocking URL’s which reference the new #Meta service.
Disappointing to see so many people jumping from one #SocialMedia oligarch to another. Do they really think that #Zuckerberg can be relied on to be less willful than #ElonMusk?
Looks like @catvalente took unfiltered dictation from my brain as we watched the #Musk vs #Zuckerberg which personal data sucking #oligarch do you want to support, play out
Does anyone get it?
Seriously I wish I could write with as much comedic profanity and stay on point at the same time
David French of the #NYTimes with some thoughts on how attempts to enable toxic #RightWing demagogues and their bankrupt ideas on #Twitter yielded an enormous opportunity for #Threads
Sadly he fails to note/appreciate that throwing your lot in with #Zuckerberg’s new social media project, might be quietly toxic for democracy. Do you remember #CamebridgeAnalytica?
