Wait, what else happened with the Bird? There’s apparently another migration happening? But every two weeks I see someone share an article with the title “Why The #TwitterMigration Failed.” Huh, it’s almost as if this place isn’t supposed to be a replacement for Twitter so calling a migration a “failure” misses the point entirely.

Nice of Elon Musk to address the problem with people spending too much time on Twitter. It is not good for you. 🙂

Instead you can spend some more time on Vivaldi Social and Mastodon.

"Op-ed: Why the great #TwitterMigration didn’t quite pan out"

I can see why the corporate crowd does not like it. Mastodon is not designed "push" advertisements and collect marketing intelligence and distribute repetitive #news feeds.

[Building relationships based on common interests is harder then building customer databases based on clicks.]

It’s been that way since its conception. And it has only grown. Meta didn’t give 2 shits about Mastodon until Twitter started to burn and the #twittermigration started.

THREAD: I made a series of images for an Instagram post I made about migrating to the fediverse. I figured I'd share with anyone else who wants to use, so I included some blank template versions too. DM if you'd like the Adobe Illustrator file so you can make your own edits. And please,comment if I got anything wrong so I can correct it.

…invite-only, that's not "elitist" of course 🙄)
- "thoughtful" articles show up asking questions about "how will Lemmy monetize", etc; and pointing out that choosing an instance is "confusing".
- the wave eventually subsides; plenty of people stay on Threadiverse, some don't; this gets reported as "Lemmy has failed".

We know all this from the #TwitterMigration. Point is, just as "Mastodon" has not failed (it's order of magnitude bigger than before!), Threadiverse will not have failed either.

🧵

"... everyone (myself included) who is still on Twitter has some hard questions to ask themselves. There is no pretending any more that Twitter is anything other than a far-right social network headed by a CEO who revels in chaos and is platforming extremism. So why are news organisations still on it? Why is anyone who considers themselves to have liberal values still on it?

"Ego is probably the main answer to that question. A lot of journalists have built up very large followings on Twitter. Nostalgia is another factor ..."

Advocates of Fediblocking #Barcelona need to learn lessons from the #TwitterMigration when talk of Fediblock was also en vogue.

To review:

1. Despite hosting Twitter employees, a mass Fediblock on macaw.social didn’t happen

2. Despite being run by a for-profit corporation, a mass Fediblock on vivaldi.social didn’t happen

3. Despite being run by cryptobros, a mass Fediblock on mastodon.cloud and mstdn.jp didn’t happen

4. Despite being run by a walled garden and hosting two Twitter co-founders, a mass Fediblock on me.dm didn’t happen

5. Despite being funded by VCs (including Marc Bernioff), a mass Fediblock on moth.social didn’t happen

So why do you all think the Fediverse will come together to block #Meta?

And until mastodon.social and mastodon.online announce that Barcelona is Fediblocked, any notion of it happening is wishful thinking.

So Barcelona is coming. We need to brace for impact. And we need to be strategic in our response.

@aral
Musk's purchase of Twitter makes more sense now.

So does his technical changes to allow boosting his personal tweets.

He wants to control the narrative that wins the White House in 2024.

We must abandon Twitter and rebuild our communities on safer sites.
