#tusknotmusk — Public Fediverse posts

Amid Twitter chaos, Mastodon grew donations 488% in 2022, reached 1.8M monthly active users | TechCrunch

Consumer interest in open source, decentralized social networking isn’t something that was only reflected in news headlines over the past year, it’s also apparent in the financials behind Mastodon. The nonprofit organization powers one of the many apps that came into fashion as a Twitter alternative following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the social network he’s since renamed X. According to Mastodon’s annual report, released today, the company says it’s seen a 488% increase in donations, totaling €325.9K, or roughly $341,985 in U.S. dollars.

Another solid piece from Matt Binder regarding Elon Musk's Twitter

Elon Musk's X follower count bloated by millions of new, inactive accounts

Elon Musk is by far the most followed user on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, which he acquired in October of last year. With more than 153 million followers at the time of publication, Musk's account @elonmusk is basically a microcosm of the platform as a whole.

So, who are Musk's followers in relation to the platform? How active are they? How often do they post? Are they consuming a lot of creator content on X? Do they subscribe to Musk's subscription plan, X Premium, formerly known as Twitter Blue? Are Musk's followers real?

Mashable has reviewed new data collected by third-party researcher Travis Brown, who compiled basic account information on all of Musk's more than 153 million followers via a meticulous process that respected X's rate limit parameters.

An interesting discussion on #NPR this morning about the evolution of the Internet and social media. It concludes with an expression of hope that future social media will be less prone to hidden algorithms and craven manipulation of users.

Friends, allow me to introduce you to: MASTODON. 😎👍

@mikegalsworthy Yesterday, I deactivated my Twitter account. #tusknotmusk

@DavidVinerAuthor It is (apparently) not original, but trying to boost #tusknotmusk 😂

@SamYoung841 Did they suspend it again? I'm probably wrong, but did they not reinstate it? Or did they just stop suspending people for adding it to their bio? Still, given the person we're dealing with, they are probably being shadow banned into oblivion anyway.

And I do like #TusknotMusk. Very clever indeed.

@SamYoung841 On it.
#Tusknotmusk 🙂

It's important to note Elon Musk's connection to the even more right-wing, racist Peter Thiel.

Musk has brought in David Sacks to Twitter.

Sacks co-authored "The Diversity Myth" with Thiel.

If you're surprised by Twitter's anti-Black hostility, you haven't been paying attention.

I hope so.

I love #TuskNotMusk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

#TuskNotMusk oh I like this one. 😂

I’ve been here TWO WEEKS now. So I simultaneously feel like an old timer and a complete novice. But today feels like a good day to start spending more time with the elephant than the bird.

I’ve done my final #TheArchers tweetalong, sort of signed off and said my goodbyes (tho I’m not closing my account), and the Orange Man has rejoined. It feels like an ending. But, over here, I feel invigorated - and federated!
