@503bartley @reiver @mastodonmigration
I cut ties with Twitter and don’t use Bluesky

But Mastodon’s search lacks the option to follow words that aren’t hashtags

This has privacy issues for some. But I think that’s what opt-in is for

#DisabilityTwitter could not move to Mastodon because they rely on full post search

Networking for obscure terms like the symptoms or diagnoses of rare diseases

Nobody can # every vital word in posts, so Mastodon remains far less usable for #disabled users

Hi friends — I updated my neurosurgical fundraiser with a few posts explaining unfortunate recent care setbacks, extra expenses, financial updates

@Broadwaybabyto There could be several reasons for this.

One, "All my friends are here." They don't want to let go of large parts of their online social circle.

Alternatively, "But muh followers." They don't want to let go of their fame and move someplace that doesn't even have enough users to build up the same numbers of followers in no time.

Two, inconvenience. The Fediverse is too cumbersome to use in comparison with centralised corporate silos.

You can basically load 𝕏 onto your phone, enter a user name and a password, and bam, you've got a bustling feed.

On the other hand, while you can load Mastodon onto your phone, it asks you too many questions. There's that field where you have to choose an instance. And yes, leaving it on default is a choice you have to take. It doesn't railroad you hard enough.

And once you're online, your timeline is dead. Many have left because they thought the whole Fediverse is dead because their timeline was, because Mastodon was praised to them as, quote, "literally Twitter without Musk". You have to take care of getting content into your timeline yourself, and there's no assistant that helps you with it. Mastodon doesn't have training wheels, everything else in the Fediverse has them even less, but 𝕏 doesn't even require them.

Oh, and you can't load "Fediverse" onto your phone at all. Or anything else in the Fediverse that could largely do the same job as Mastodon if people knew about it.

Third-party apps? Most of them have probably never in their lives used an online service through an app that doesn't have the same name as the online service.

Lastly, it isn't worth it. The only thing that may motivate them to move would be a place that's totally guaranteed to be an absolute, 100% safe haven for them with no harassment, no ableism and no hindrances in accessibility. Same goes for other marginalised minorities such as BIPoC or the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community, only that spoons aren't as much an issue for them.

However, these latter two may actually be known even on 𝕏 to not be perfectly safe in the Fediverse either. The very reason why BlackMastodon failed. So neither may be disabled people. Thus, the effort of leaving everything behind and learning to use new software might not be justified by the result if nothing much changes anyway.

Quick #Fediverse question … does anyone know why more of #DisabilityTwitter didn’t come over here? Were there accessibility issues or key features missing?

With news today that Elon plans to change the block feature so that blocked accounts can view your posts (it’s like he’s trying to break things)… I see a lot of disability accounts wanting to leave.

Granted we’ve seen this before - I’m starting to wonder if that site will have to cease to exist before people will go elsewhere.

Though if he goes through with the change it will make that site exceedingly unsafe for many people.

I figured if there was a specific reason(s) they struggled over here … maybe it could be addressed. I adore it here and find it much safer and more inclusive - but I suspect not everyone agrees.

Larger discussion:
Non-profits ask the wealthy to help the poor

In a healthy society 🙄 government programs take tax money from the wealthy and help the poor without needing to muck about with asking their permission

Gabrielle Peters is the boss ♿️ (she led the report on the heat done effects as I recall)

Like a lot of #DisabilityTwitter mastodon failed to be a welcoming home for them 🥺

I'm sorry the alt text isn't that great. I'm very tired, it's going to snow, so I wanted to share some flowers

I'm in so much pain this morning and I don't even know why. My right knee hurts especially bad, but it's my entire leg on both sides frfr. This is why I need my wheelchair, but my neighborhood is so inaccessible that I can't even use it. I'm so tired of hurting 😩

I have no idea what these are, but they were waiting for me when I got off the bus. As fall deepens, I appreciate the flowers that tough out the chill or even thrive in it

Can someone #Alt4Me #AltText4Me please?

Yesterday's #PhotoOctober2023 prompts were "vertical" and "old memory". I had taken a photo of a sign post but didn't like it very much, only to check my catalog and find these! Philly city hall covers both prompts, I think, especially with a sepia style filter! These photos are also pretty old, over a decade lol I think 20 year old me did pretty good #photography #BlackMastoArt #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #DisabledFedi #DisabilityTwitter
