#twexit — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #twexit, aggregated by home.social.

  1. In einem Meinungsartikel für die Zeitschrift Publik-Forum stelle ich die These auf, dass Elon Musk jeden X-Account als Munition gegen die Demokratie verwendet. X wurde zur Waffe (#weaponized).

    Es ist völlig egal, was ein User auf X schreibt oder tut – die Spielregeln legt allein der Besitzer fest.

    Ähnliches droht auf den #Meta-Plattformen und auch auf #Bluesky. Unterzeichnet die Petition von @neuSoM an die #HRK, damit wenigstens die Hochschulen dieses Spiel nicht mitspielen!

  2. Seid knapp einem Monat #neuhier !

    Und kein bisschen bereut.

    Das #Fediverse ist übersichtlicher als die großen Tanker. Auch die #FediKirche gibt sich bescheiden.

    Doch hier herrscht eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Es gibt viel zu entdecken. Und vor allem herrscht hier ein große Bereitschaft zur #Kommunikation untereinander.

    Danke & weiter so!

  3. "Diese App löscht Ihre alten #Tweets

    Kein Bock mehr auf #Musk – aber was macht man mit seinen alten Tweets: löschen oder behalten? Unser Kolumnist testet eine App, die das Profil aufräumt."

  4. Wenn man heutzutage seinen #Twitter Account löscht, kommt dann immer noch ein "Tut uns leid" oder wird man beschimpft? 🤣

  5. "Landtag von Rheinland-Pfalz stellt Kommunikation auf „X“ ein

    Die Social Media Plattform „X“, vormals Twitter, steht seit der Übernahme durch den Unternehmer Elon Musk unter anhaltender Kritik. Der rheinland-pfälzische Landtag stellt als Konsequenz aus der problematischen Entwicklung des Mikroblogging-Dienst seine dortige Kommunikation bis auf Weiteres ein."

  6. Ironic how shortening a product's name to one character has ultimately resulted in MORE characters being used to describe it, since everyone has to use "the app formerly known as Twitter" for anyone to know what they're actually referring to. 🤣🤦🏾

  7. Recently a link passed on my timeline for a tool that could parse your Twitter archive's JS files into JSON or Markdown or something. Sadly, I didn't bookmark the toot and now I can't find it anymore...

    So, does anyone have a useful tool for parsing a Twitter archive into something self-hosted without all the Twitter JS junk?

  8. "Moving Across Lands: Online Platform Migration in Fandom
    Communities

    When online platforms rise and fall, sometimes communities fade away, and sometimes they pack their bags
    and relocate to a new home. ... For over three decades, community members have left and joined many different online spaces, from Usenet to Tumblr to platforms of their own design."

  9. Hello to our new #mastodon friends that have jumped over from #twitter and #reddit lately.

    Enjoy your time here. The real people and communication with real people truly gives an 'early internet' air to the place.

    Welcome to the shitshow!

  11. Guten Morgen, soeben habe ich meinen Account bei #HATwitter deaktiviert. Ich möchte nicht mehr diese Hass-, Lügen- und Desinformations-Verbreitungsmaschine unterstützen. #twoff #twexit

  12. CW: Erwähnung eines früher polulären Kurznachrichtendienstes

    "Twitter, Inc. existiert nicht mehr"

    Twitter ist jetzt die X Corp und gehört zu Elon Musks X Holding.

  13. I don't use overhead lights, because im #neurodivergent and hate them.

    Instead, I use #led light strips around my room that I can control through #alexa.

    I yawned as I told her to turn the lights on, which it appears she took as a whisper.

    I'm sorry, an #amazonalexa #whispering back to me? KIND OF CREEPY.

  17. CW: (Kleine) ergernis....

    Wat ik nu als een #ergernis en #con ervaar hier via #Mastodon , is dat ik eens de hashtag filterde, en al onmiddellijk berichten te zien kreeg die totaal, maar dan ook TOTAAL NIETS te maken hadden met #naturisme. Integendeel.
    En ik die dacht dat ik na mijn #Twexit daar niet meer mee geconfronteerd zou zijn.
    Tip: Het is niet omdat men #naakt sociaal de wereld in stuurt dan men de hashtag naturisme moet claimen. 😤

  18. Hello all #MedMastodon, #ScienceMastodon, #SciComm, #SoMe, #MedPhys, #Biophysics and #AusPol people!

    As my #IntroductionPost I am repeating mostly what I wrote as my #Introduction on mastodon.social before migrating to aus.social.

    I am a qualified medical physicist who has recently "retired" due to ill health. I am now in remission, likely cured, and am about to chuck myself into a new journey, perhaps involving politics here in Australia.

    I live in Adelaide, South Australia, and enjoy family, walking our dogs (two #greyhounds), gaming (war and role playing) and just being an at-home-dad. I am progressive and wishing to influence our politics to be more inclusive.

    Here's to our future!

    [edit - I’ve added more details, updated status and added hastags for ease of finding this introduction following #Twexit, #TwitterMigration #TwitterPurge]

  19. Womp womp... This is definitely a shift in the #connectedLearning space. Hard to tell if this is a good thing or not. Would love to hear any thoughts from the #ConnectedLearning or #CLX folks that have made the #twitterMigration #twexit.

  20. @KateRafiq An #Intro post that includes #hashtags of your interests and passions will help you find your ppl. People will see it and follow you, hopefully!
    You can also search for hashtags that interest you, and follow ppl who have them in their bios.
    Welcome to #Mastodon! (I’m new too😄)
    #Twexit #ILikeItHere #Newbie

  21. If you're still using the #birdapp while on #mastodon and can't quite fully shift over, I'd recommend treating it like removing a bandaid/plaster.

    Take a deep breath and rip it off (deactivate your #twitteraccount). You'll feel much better after, I promise!

  22. 2/2 Tuli vaan mieleen, kun yksi päivä näin, että yksi tili, joka kerran käyttäytyi ableistisesti suuntaani Twitterissä, on löytänyt tiensä tänne, ja kaveeraa ns. omien kanssa kuten ennenkin.

    Silloin, kun hän tuli Twitter-profiiliini ableismeineen melskaamaan, _kaikki_ katsoivat muualle. Kukaan ei puuttunut. Kukaan ei sanonut, että tuo ei ole ok.

    Senkin kaksinaismoralistiset kakkiaiset!

  23. 1/2 Yksi asia lisää, mitä toivoisin tapahtuvan täällä #Mastodon'issa on se, että itseni kanssa monessa yhteiskunnallisessa samoin ajattelevat, eivät jatkaisi sitä, että kun joku ns. omista toimii vastoin sitä, mitä ns. yleisesti ollaan, ja mitä hän yleensä on, niin ei vain käännettäisi katsetta, kuten Twitterissä oli tapana. Että se ns. omienkin väärin toimiminen "tuomittaisiin" siihen puututtaisiin.

    #kaksinaismoralismi #KahdetRattaat #epärehellisyys #moraali #TwitterMigration #Twexit #ableismi

  24. Jesh! @godpod on hänkin jo Twitteristä saapunut #Mastodon'iin!

    Mutta onko s8ankin?

    Heidän biiffinsä Twitterissä oli hienoja! (Vai oliko niitä sen toisen #Twitter-jumalan kanssa? En nyt muista. Seurasin molempia jumalia siellä.)

  25. "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit."

    Quoted from a letter from Alcuin to Charlemagne in the year 798 CE.

    Translation from Latin to English:
    "And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness."

    The expression is not about following "Wisdom of the crowd". It's a warning against autocrats using mob rule as a justification for making a bad decision and pretending it's democratic.

  26. OK my question is, if I deactivate my 🐦 accounts, someone could grab the handles in bad faith - what to do? Any ideas besides just let it all go 💥? #IrishTwitter #twexit #TwitterMigration #IrishTwitterExile #deactivate

    I don't want to encourage #fash #twitter. Was just reading that one can deactivate the account for 30 days, beyond that, the handle is lost. Not sure if the info is up-to-date tho.

    If so much happened in 2 wks, there might be a twist or two in these 30 days? 🤷🏻‍♂️

  27. OK, let's try this #introduction again on what I hope is my permanent instance!

    I live in northern California with my spouse, two kids, and two dogs. I don't have a 9-to-5 job because I have migraine (hidden disability), but I probably work 40 hours/wk, just at odd hours and from bed.

    My first political action was protesting the Gulf War, and I haven't stopped since.

    I love music, dancing, TV, and food.

  28. Last addition to this thread(I think)

    I don’t know anything about #algorithms or #AlGoresRhythm or whatever the youths call it… but I DO know that #mastodon does not make me mad like everything else is curated to do.

    So if you remember what a dial up tone sounds like and can properly answer ‘asl?’… take your #advil and learn how to use mastodon… the excitement feels like all those #Chatrooms on #aim we were far too young to be in.

    Tooter1: “Follow me.”
    Tooter2 “Why? Who are you? Where are you going?”

    Reasonable questions, IMHO. If you want people to follow you, say something about yourself. Or at least say *something*. Anything. An #introduction is always nice, but there’s no rush. And remember: #hashtags are even more important here. Toot toot!

  30. Leaving TW comes w/heavy cost. As a self employed author, those 10.5K followers provided a revenue stream. That reach/audience is gone. I don’t have a day job. I don’t have a husband whose salary subsidizes my work. I also am sensitive to leveraging/monetizing this #fediverse. I’m a newbie who wishes to honor the community. But I also need to pay rent/eat. Open to suggestions. #fedihelp #authorChat #twexidus #twexit #TwitterMigrate #twitterMigration #wfh #writer #selfemployed #wfhLife

  31. Some of the best ever moments on #Twitter come as it commences its death spiral ... I was *literally* laughing uncontrollably at this 😂🤣😂 🤣

    Still #giggling this morning in bed sorry! - don't care, gonna share

  32. I'm a bit #toot happy at the moment and I'm sorry if this is a nuisance to anyone that follows me. Things will calm down for me soon once the honeymoon period is over.

    But I'd like to thank anyone thats #interacted with me over the last week. It's been a real eye opener and a big boost to my #MentalHealth. The positivity radiating from #Mastodon is contagious and I hope it continues on and I get the chance to build some great #friendships and #connections.

  33. In "Defund Big Tech, Refund Community", #TechOtherwise discussed the public investment that made #BigTech possible and its imbalance with the returns to the public; the labor and user relations of Big Tech's value-creation; and its perverse social & environmental costs. We argued that Big Tech should be defunded and offered actions and prospects for what refunding community could look like. Because another tech is possible. Newly relevant? 😉 What do you think? #twexit techotherwise.pubpub.org/defun

  34. I’m so happy to see so many #trusted humans and #sources coming over here. I just joined yesterday, but this little corner of the internet (at least for right now) seems to be where we are actually trying to save the #planet, and ourselves.

    I do hope we succeed. :)
