Probably also worth noting:

My dear twitter refugees,

As you are grieving the communities you are leaving behind, please remember Musk bought a platform, not a community.

YOU built the communities, and you will build them again.

#twitterMigration

On science communication:

Today Elon Musk attacked Anthony Fauci. The post got at least 600,000 likes.

Whatever this means for #TwitterMigration (should be: let's leave!),
it also means many have been radicalized against Fauci and science and gov't. While many of us have been carrying about our business, rightwing media has been creating vast hate for science. Vast.

There's only one solution: FIGHT. (more below) /1

Welcome to @Mastodon! I had to be on Twitter a bit this week for work, and in addition to more utter BS from the One Who Shall Not Be Named, I also saw a ton of new people fed up and joining the #TwitterMigration. I really think you're going to like it here!

ran #fedifinder again today, and now i'm following another 73 accounts

Mainstream media journalist: It's too hard to build an audience on Mastodon! I cross-post the same shouty posts and one-sentence slogans as I do on the fowl app, and they just get no traction here! It must be because it's just too complicated for people to read posts from other instances or something!

Me: Okay, do you follow many interesting people here?

Journo: No.

Me: Do you reply to posts and engage with other people?

Journo: No.

Me: Do you like and share many other people's posts?

Journo: No.

Me: Do you post anything interesting, insightful or funny? Or just shouty denouncements?

Journo: Oh, I don't just cross-post shouty posts and slogans — I also do self-promotion! Subscribe now to read my latest article!

Me: Could the problem be that you've relied entirely on an algorithm that's fine-tuned to incite people by distributing the most provocative content widely to generate ad views? That the core issues are that you don't engage, contribute little to the online community, and share little content of real value and substance? That you're essentially no different to the social media bullies you so often denounce in your paywalled articles?

Journo: No. The problem isn't me, the problem is Mastodon!

Hey - I'm Britt - the instance #admin for https://mstdn.games - a new server dedicated to #gaming! #introduction

I was part of the great #TwitterMigration and spent 12 years on that platform. I'm really excited to be here and love the community.

A bit about me: I’m an elder #millennial located in #Canada with my amazing wife @craftykraken ?.

I care about: #lgbtq, #disability, #hockey, #cats, #vinyl, #books, #reading, and oh! I’m #Autistic + #ADHD.

I’d love to connect. :)

Hahahaha!

Don't tell me the 500 pound gorilla is afraid of the gnat!

here are my initial thoughts on the norm-busting, hoop-jumping, inequity-maximizing journey Musk has sent the former execs on, in search of what is owed to them

The Fediverse and Mastodon hockey stick graph continues at a linear rate. It’s up to 9 million users, an increase of about 2 million from last week. Of those, 7 million of those users are on Mastodon. https://fediverse.observer/stats

Check out this The Verge article, “The race to build a better Twitter”. About #Twittermigration and Mastodon (at about a third in). It features an interview with @ruud - admin and creator of mastodon.world, my own home and that of ca. 100,000 users.

I've been collecting reports from Mastodon instance operators as they cope with the #TwitterMigration: https://dltj.org/article/mastodon-instance-reports

Starting with reports from @chad (Mastodon Canada), @nova (Hachyderm), and @aurynn (Cloud Island, New Zealand).

Learning lots. If you know of other reports, please @-tag me and I'll add them to the list.

OK, well this is getting far more interesting for me! ?
Given the open nature of the #ActivityPub protocol, it is possible to pull in the Instagram alternative, Pixelfed, into your Mastodon Home Timeline.
This is great for those looking for an alternative to Instagram, but not wanting to use yet another app.

Here is another short video on how this works and how you can use it yourself!

Following on from this Initial Mastodon Guide, I have been seeing a lot of people asking for tips on how to find people and content to fill in their Home Timeline.
I decided to make a follow up video on how to best use search and also cover why sometimes you don't get the results you expect.

Any boosts will be appreciated to help others improve their Mastodon experience.
#TwitterExodus #TwitterMigration #Search #feditips

For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find, but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it.??

And be sure to check out the threaded replies for more tips. I will continue to add more. ??

Seeing a little too much #Caturday in your feed? Want to hide #spoilers for a TV Show until you see the episode?
#Filters are easy to set up and customise on #Mastodon. This short video walks through how to use them step by step to make it as easy as possible for you to manage your feeds.

As always, thanks in advance for the boosts, and a sub to my channel would mean a lot, I am aiming for 1000 subs. ??

Another day, another video.
A lot of us already have a large #Twitter #Network and would love to be able to easily search #Mastodon for them to fill out our network here.
The #Fedifinder site helps make this a reality and it recently got some updates.
This video walks through the steps to #Migrate your network across in minutes.
As always, any boosts are appreciated to spread the word... And a sub would be lovely. ? #twittermigration #twitterexodus #youtube #feditips

Yet another short video to add to the list of guides.
This one covers how to make use of the Advanced Web Interface to really tailor your web experience for #Mastodon.

For those that are used to things like #tweetdeck or the app #tweeten on Windows, this will be very familiar to you. And best of all, it is built right into Mastodon natively.

As always, boosts are appreciated to get the message out to all the newcomers.

This seems to be becoming a habit of mine now as I begin to use Mastodon more and continue to learn more about it each day.

This one covers the options available to you when posting content such as Alt Text and Content Warnings but also talks about language settings and using filters to tidy up your timelines.

Any boosts will be greatly appreciated so we can help everyone get the most out of Mastodon.

Direct Messages on Mastodon are probably one of the most confusing things for new users as they aren't really like messages on other platforms.

I have done my best to explain what they are in a few minutes for you all here. Check it out and let me know if it helps.
More tips still to come so stay tuned.

Please give it a #boost if you can to help spread the knowledge around the Fediverse. :ablobcatrave:
