I deleted my old Twitter account after the attempt by Twitter to "own" Canada's public broadcaster by making malicious edits to its Twitter profile back in the spring of 2023. That was the final straw.

I don't fully understand Mastodon yet and may not ever, but I'm going to attempt to keep up with breaking news and incisive commentary from here. #twittermigration

#twittermigration Can anyone see this?

Not sure what my niche is going to be but it’s good to be here! I just got home from work and am excited to have an online place to mindlessly scroll through when my brain is fried, bonus points for the fact it’s not run by a total buffoon cough cough Musk #twittermigration #twitterdown

Slowly getting used to finding my way around on here, think it’s the future of social media for me 👍🏻 #TwitterMigration

I just read another news article about why mastodon didn’t make it and is dying. It’s very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.

Hi, #mastodon
I'm new here. Get off twitter and hope to be welcome here. 😀

I mentioned to my PhD chat group buddies that it’d be lovely to see them on Mastodon, and some have agreed to give it a go.

So I’m asking for help. In advance of them arriving, I’d love to be able to point them at this post and replies to find their connections. Are you doing a #phd too? What’s it about? Have you just finished one and have some advice?

[edit: mine's about getting kids interested in data science at school]

Could you help me find as many PhD researchers as possible?

Today our site helped 315+ people join, or enhance their accounts. We were built for days like today. A nearly equal split between folks creating new accounts, and enhancing existing ones... cc: @fediversereport @fediversenews @spreadmastodon

I'm a lapsed #mastodon user who started off here after the first #twittermigration and yes, I gravitated back to #Twitter, and I'm sorry but my friends were and still are over there. And many #mastodon users, especially the early users and the migrators who were able to transition over without much hassle might criticise those of us who started with good intentions, but it's not through lack of trying.

I've had my Twitter account since 2007, I started it at my workplace after a training session about Web 2.0 and Twitter. Do you remember when we were all super excited about the prospect of an interactive internet where we could interact with webpages? Social media was in its infancy, the world hadn't completely lost their mind.

Since then I've had my account and made lots of friends, I have taken so much value from the content, so many connections. And then #Elon happened. I will never delete my Twitter account, and like many fellow Twitterers when it calms down and feels a bit more 'normal' I slip back into old habits.

But when Elon rises his head and makes a change it brings it back the fact it is turning into some dystopian billionaire hellhole whilst he tries to coax us to pay him money. And we start to grieve what we lost. Grief is a difficult and gnarly emotion, and I would speculate many Twitterers that do care, are in denial.

Be nice to us. We are trying to migrate but it's hard. It will be hard, it's like giving up smoking. Some find it easy, others less so. If the restrictions ARE temporary, some might go back. Others might finally stick, but beyond perceived loyalty, for many it is a process.

The state of our federation is strong.

Last week the #Fediverse opened our arms to half a million new users. Many of them migrants from another enshitified corporate dumpsterfire. Together we are building out incredible new applications that realize our amazing collaborative federated infrastructure. We are now engaged in open animated exchange about how to safeguard our precious platform while allowing it to grow to its full potential. These are good and vital discussions. We got this.

Hello #Mastodon! Wordpress has introduced me to you.

mastodonmigration, 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago) to random

Do you have a friend or family member who is not on Mastodon?

And you are thinking, "love to introduce them, but the whole multiple servers thing... 🤔"

Well, you are in luck.

A new site makes joining Mastodon a snap >>> https://spreadmastodon.org/

In minutes, #newbies will be up and running on mastodon.social (other instances coming soon).

@spreadmastodon has been developed by @tchambers and his team, so you know it's safe to recommend.

Let's do this!

spreadmastodon, 11 months ago to fediverse

🔥 We are excited to let everyone know that our full website is now live!

We hope this will be an easy way for new users to get started with #Mastodon & join the wider #Fediverse & an organizing hub to build & spread a better, more open social web of ALL fediverse offerings.

With the #RedditMigration in full force & the likely #Barcelona launch bringing new attention to the Fediverse it is all the more urgent to help #TakeBackSocial
