For all that it did right, Mastodon made a massive unforced error not realizing that the key to social media propagation was keeping journalists happy. Instead, it alienated 90% of them with grievances and brow beatings about how they were pesky interlopers. BlueSky and Threads merely had to toss them a handful of candy, and promise them others, and it was like flipping a switch that sucked them out of here like runaway ShopVac. But I am convinced that many can be brought back.
What if I told you I don't care if Mastodon (or, really, the #Fediverse) does anything to keep anyone happy. What if I told you most people get #SocialMedia wrong because they want to do it at scale and replicate the failed power law experience of Twitter?
What if I told you the best way to do social media is the same way you do other social things: in the small scale where you can have a conversation instead of treating it like a broadcast medium?
I'd like to try a little social experiment. It is 5:37 Eastern Time (US). Could someone in the central time zone reply to this message, and ask someone in the Mountain Time zone to reply, and so on? Can we get around the world? (feel free to skip time zones with few residents) #games#world#fediverse
If I did my time zone maths right, @stux is about to do our server migration soon. If the good lords a-willin’ and the creeks don’t rise, I’ll see ya on the flip side.
Seit einigen Minuten teste ich das Plugin, um WordPress mit dem Fediverse zu verbinden. Im Fediverse bin ich schon aufrufbar. Nun muss ich mich erst mit den vielen Einstellungen vertraut machen.
FediForum, the online unconference for the Fediverse, has its 3rd day on a Saturday this time. Join your peers to discuss the future of the fediverse and how we get there? Have unmet needs and wishes? Of even better: have solutions? Demos of interesting fedi software? Or just want to meet people who think like yourself?
Consider joining us on September 14. More info and registration: https://fediforum.org
It’s the weekend fedizens! Time to enjoy the rest and relaxing. Let’s get to our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and see what we all have going on for today.
I’m sipping on first cup of God’s nectar. Don’t have much planned at all today. Love it that way. Might get to hop on the Xbox and play. Wife is going to go to the oldest from college as muttfest is tomorrow. I probably won’t go as it’s going to be 95F.
Ein Killerfeature der Mastodon-Suche ist der Operator "in:library", damit durchsucht man alle seine gefavten und geboosterten Tröts, oder welche in den Lesezeichen. Das ging auf Twitter nicht!
Für eigene Tröts suche ich mit "Suchbegriff from:me".
