@al1r4d what are you looking to make? Just sharing content, a bot, or a full fledged server?

This looks like some lazy reactionary teenage contrarianism. Similar to what I have been seeing from some celebrities this week.

1) Nothing really at stake. Traffic from Twitter probably close to zero for The Guardian (as for any media company)

2) I'm 120% sure most of the editorial stuff will keep posting and/or spending hours a day there

Public data still shows that people hardly stick around (churn is very common in social platforms, and hard to compare between them)

Last big wave came from Brazil, when Twitter was temporarily blocked there...

BlueSky up almost 2 million active users since Elon and Donald won the US elections

@Gargron how many from @mastofeed? Could you check, please

Do not use Slack.

Both for the Baltimore bridge collapse and the Xz backdoor, the fediverse was the first and main source of information before traditional media and other social platforms.

That's two main worldwide repercussion level events in one week

The pace will only increase the more we share, the more we write, the more we read... :jeb: :jeb: :jeb:

What about creating some kind of Akismet for the fediverse?

Or maybe we could ask @photomatt it we could create some bridge to the actual Akismet / cc @Gargron

Subscribing to hashtags in Mastodon is great. Such an underappreciated feature

It's brought me a lot of fresh and good content , as well as finding fascinating users across the fediverse, right in my timeline.

If you struggle to find good follows, please consider searching for hashtags related to your interests, and following those.

@mike is threads also blocked in the UK? Like it is in the EU

here's a tip

tip your instance admins

Proud to announce that as of today, https://mastofeed.org/ has sent 200,000 messages to Mastodon servers across the world -- MastoFeed allows anyone to automatically submit their own content from RSS and Atom feeds (their blogs, podcasts, so on) to their Mastodon account

@Gargron is that John Mastodon himself?

@Gargron yup. Retention rate looks pretty pretty good to me

I have been working on https://mastodeck.com - an advanced fully customizable web client for Mastodon.

It's on closed beta, but it works great both on desktop and mobile.

If you want to try it and give feedback, please send a direct message at @mastodeck, @Barredo or email me alex@barredo.es
