Doing a lil interest thread :) I'm from the south in the US! Joined this place from the #TwitterMigration, I'm hoping the #fediverse continues to grow. I'm a #socialist & support #degrowth & #decolonization, I think we need to join environmental movement with the labor & national liberation movements. I practice no-till, regenerative #permaculture agriculture with the goal of growing a chestnut-canopy food forest with my community. I am an educator and work at a bar :) #queer#trans#riptwitter
I know everyone is taking a beating right now, but who is everyone using for Mastodon hosting (preferably managed)? My current setup is part of an exisitng VPS I have, and I want to move to something more robust. Eventually opening the isntance for more users.
I would love to go with @mastohost, but I know how busy they are right now maintaining their current users.
Here’s the screenshot of a recent tweet by Elon Musk. Warning. It’s totally inappropriate. An infantile man-child like Musk may find it witty but there’s nothing witty about it and it’s not even funny. When Trump is the man who raped the American Consitution, this tweet is even more disgusting. Musk should be posting a cartoon of himself as a buffoonish emperor with no clothes. #ElonMuskNoThanks#twittermigration
もう鳥の事をこれ以上ここで呟きたくないのでこれで終わりにします。鳥を続ける事はイーロン(スペースカレン?)をサポートすることと私は考えているので辞めました。それと別にSNSの在り方にも色々考える所があり、敢えて鳥で知ってる方でもフォロバしなかったりしているのでご理解ください。 I’m really tired of talking about the bird site so this will be my last. I left because I consider keep using it means I support Space Karen. Also I’ve been thinking a lot about the way social networks work and here I’m being intentional about not following back everyone I know. Hope you understand. #twittermigration#twexit
Ok so of all the many criticisms of #Musk's disastrous handling of #Twitter and horrendous treatment of it's staff. Peeking at birdsite & seeing 2nd trend is #SpaceKaren did make me laugh in to my coffee.
We should be taxing billionaires & definitely not letting them buy massive chunks of human interaction & knowledge.
This makes it easier to find posts, and people, of interest.

@Gargron this is so amazing and makes me so happy that people are finally discovering the benefits of #decentralized social media. Props to everyone who are making this #TwitterMigration possible!
1) How do I get my own #mastodon /server? I am not a sysadmin. There is 2 routes to this.
a) a managed hosting like masto.host. ➕ very good for no technical experience. web server cost is built in. somebody else is doing all the maintenance ➖ it does cause a bit of a centralization, very few reputable options so limits the options to move.
Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.
