#AskMastodon has anyone heard if the major social media management apps are adding or have added Mastodon? I feel this has been a major reason we haven't seen broader adoption in the corporate or government space. Reply with software suggestions? #TwitterMigration#SocialMedia
Feedback is extremely welcome. This is a loving document, it can only be honed and get better with loving input from other users. What are your best tips for #creators?
Hi, I am a Ph.D student studying social media as a computer scientist at Arizona State University.
I have researched the Twitter migration phenomenon and found some interesting migration patterns and traits of users who stay on mastodon. Please check out my paper that is under review and give me your feedbacks!
We've explored the recent migration from Twitter to platforms like Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon!
Our findings reveal diverse reasons behind this shift after Twitter's ownership change. Users see the relationship between Twitter and its alternatives differently, viewing them either as complements or substitutes. 🐦➡️🔄
Via @tchambers, Nature.com has shared a very interesting scientific study of the great #TwitterMigration. It details the user motivations seen at scale as well as the actual migration patterns that led to one of the largest instances of user loss in the history of the social web https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-48200-7
🔬 The migration represents a unique example of collective behavioral change documented through large-scale digital traces, and can teach us a lot about how people coordinate!
Twitter and Bluesky (and almost all corporate social media providers) say they need a broad license to do what they do. But the truth is that they don’t need a license to publish your content—or they could take a much more limited publishing only license—but they don’t because the way they make money is processing your content, profiling you, and selling information about you to ad tech companies. For this they need to co-own your content.
@osma@tchambers@Zindswini really? because that's sure how it worked with the #TwitterMigration and the #RedditMigration. Our instance, one of the largest Friendica instances on the 'verse, still has had to maintain blocking the two largest lemmy servfers becasue the data is just too much.
A request: if you're going to stop posting on the tusk site 🦣, make one final toot saying so. If I wander across your profile in my following list and you haven't posted in four months, it would be nice to know why. Don't leave us hanging.
If you've gone to greener pastures (yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion, man) then farewell and good luck. Mastodon is not for everyone!
If you're just taking an extended break, we'll be here when you get back. #TwitterMigration#Today
A better technical solution (without Google) is in the works. So why not prepare one for international media as well? Can you point me to verified (!) accounts on Mastodon or the #Fediverse from newspapers/magazines/media etc.? Please, not individual journalists, that's a separate table. And where should I collect it (GoogleDocs, Github)?
I'll do it again in #english, maybe it is of interest for others too:
@heiseonline is on of the biggest official accounts on #Mastodon by a german media organization. It's now a year old and I had a look into the ~62k followers. Turns out, that federation in the #fediverse seems to work: Less than a fourth are from mastodon.social, the rest are on more than 1900 different instances.
Of course, don't forget to introduce yourselves and tag it with #introduction and hashtag your topic of interests. It's all about hashtags in the fediverse network.
