for those of you who are keep insisting for people to leave Twitter/X:

On my timeline, some people are saying that if you are federating with Threads, you are a terrible person.

But these folks don’t seem to have any plan for migrating people off Threads. And should they have a plan, what’s their plan for getting them to migrate to a server that de-federates Threads – and ensure they’re happy when they do it?

The ironic thing is that a lot of these “morally upright” folks came to the Fediverse during the #TwitterMigration. They benefitted from tools to make the transition easier. They used auto-crossposting, look-up sites to find their old friends, and various importing tools to help them ensure their switch to Mastodon was a success.

In other words, they benefitted from connecting their Fediverse accounts to Twitter. They can’t use these tools right now, mind you, but that’s not because Fediverse developers were so outraged by Elon Musk that they pulled the plug. No, it was Twitter that pulled the plug by entirely killing off API access.

But now that these folks “got theirs”, they want to kick the ladder off the roof. Should there be some sort of crisis on Threads – and there likely will be – what’s the migration path for Threads users to leave Threads? Why should they trust some random Fediverse server that they’ve never interacted with instead of continuing to deal with the devil they do know, Threads?

By no means am I telling you to federate with Threads. As a server operator, that decision is entirely up to you. Yet I am very skeptical that if all Fediverse servers de-federated Threads, it will make the world a better place. On the contrary, no migration path from Threads makes the world worse.

> Three, vice versa, Mastodon and its users rejecting the culture of non-Mastodon projects whenever it differs from Mastodon's. Many Mastodon users want everything that is "un-Mastodon-like" banned all across the whole Fediverse because it disturbs them, be it posts over 500 characters, be it quotes, be it "quote-tweets", be it text formatting in any way. However, all this stuff is perfectly normal and absolutely part of the culture everywhere outside of Mastodon.

1. Character limitation. It's funny that it is a reason because three are Mastodon-powered instances (a lot in fact) with more than 500.

2. What the "purists" did not realise is that the customizable number of characters has been part of the Fediverse since the first Fediverse managed service launched: StatusNet "hosting", in 2008. @-lnxwalt was very active in posting different content on the different length instances back then.

3. To add to what you mentioned, another reason they hate #Threads is because they supposedly introduced something that isn't part of #Mastodon and #ActivityPub, dots in username.

But it has been around years before Instagram even thought about Threads (assuming they came up with the project during the #TwitterMigration ). You'll often see it from website-based AP implementations. @example.com@example.com

Also, the reasoning "not in ActivityPub" is well, Mastodon is as guilty of that since the discussions of AP started. Since Mastodon was successful in positioning itself at the proper place, everyone ended up / was forced to implement Mastodon-only stuff just so their software will be interoperable with it, even though it isn't part of ActivityPub.

Most "Mastodon purists", as well as, "ActivityPub gatekeepers" use reasons that can't stand; and their solution is fragmentation or contrary to what the Fediverse is, and what AP was made for. Basically, they want to go back to the way things are: "siloed networks" or "walled-gardens".

#BringDownTheWalls has been the goal of the Fediverse since 2008, and even before that when #SocialWeb discussions started (even in related conferences).

It's been a long time since I was invited to leave Twitter, and I left (now I'm the happiest person in the world in Mastodon). Now they invite me to leave Reddit... where am I going? #twittermigration #reddit #helpmastodon

Hey #tumblr refugees! I too am a #tumblrite and when we had the mass #TwitterMigration I wrote up a bunch of getting started here posts. You might find them useful!

They're all collected here:

Also here's a post on not having to perform for the machine in order to be seen here:

Finally:

QUOTE TOOTS ARE COMING. They're in development and there's been a lot of consideration about how to do it right for this environment, so it's taken A While. But it's in active development and within some degree of development-soon.

Anyway, good luck! It's very different here but also pretty rewarding once you figure it out.

#TumblrMigration

#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.

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!

Latest research on User Migration! 📢

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

And there are more details from @mosseri@threads.net:

First accounts in the #Fediverse will be able to follow users on #Threads, the other direction will come later:

Prepare for the wave of new arrivals from #Meta instances

Last weekend, we saw again that waves of #TwitterMigration can cause quite a strain on instances, admins, mods, and current users.

As #Meta's #Project92 (#Barcelona) goes live on July 6th, 2023 (I call this #MDay,) I have changed my settings for new followers on "request" only.

As I have already blocked the 2.5k #Meta instances (1), I take this as an additional precaution for the time being.

I ask new...
