#twexodus — Public Fediverse posts

@tomstafford

Oh, and the whole "John Mastodon" meme a few years back where some reporter thought "joinmastodon" was a person named "John Mastodon." That bounced around for a while. ;)

This was after the first big #Twexodus after Apartheid Clyde bought twitter.

@fbievan

For a long time. I came in at the very beginning of the mass #Twexodus in early 2022*, and posted a couple helpful "How to #Fediverse" kind of toots, which got boosted to the moon, somehow.

Every now and then (like maybe once a year), I tap into the #neckbeard #zeitgeist and get boosted to the moon, like hundreds of boosts.

No idea, man. I have no idea why so many people follow me.

I just toot nerdy things that make me happy, for the most part. Occasionally #USPOL stuff, but honestly pretty rarely.

* I had actually joined #fedi in late 2018, tried it out for a bit, then quit. Then I joined again in 2019, and just had it on a very slow burn while I used other networks for my primary social stuff. I went all-in to the fediverse/#Mastodon in 2022.

@cliffwade

Interesting outcome. Of course, 2022 was the mass #Twexodus. It's when I made the #fediverse my primary social network (soon only), to my delight, and the chagrin of rational people everywhere. XD

@ianthetechie

Well, *cough* the powers-that-be think handing out #BirdSite features like #QuoteTweets is much more important, even though they staunchly explained why those features should never and would never be on mastodon at the beginning of the #Twexodus. :P

Of die fediverse het nu hélemaal gaat worden is lastig te voorspellen. De #TweXodus helpt er zeker bij. Voor nu ben ik gewoon even heel blij met een Guido-vrije zone. 🙂

i just saw kinda lokal news on mastodon.
actually helpful the way twitter used to be.

musk did something nobody ever achieved, he made an open source platform popular by destroying the old one

With another #Twexodus going on, wanted to mention some tools to convert twitter archives into personal, searchable feeds hosted on your own site.

https://github.com/tweetback/tweetback-canonical and example site https://twitter.11ty.dev/

https://github.com/dariusk/twitter-archiver and example site https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/

https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Tweetback is interesting as it has the option of creating a federated network of archives - if we all used that standard, then twitter continues existing in a way (free of the ickyness)

Ich weiß ja nicht, wie es euch geht, aber ich kann bei all der Tragik rund um #twitter einen gewissen Unterhaltungswert der #news nicht leugnen. Jetzt trendet die falsche #threadsapp weil Menschen einfach wie Lemminge doof im #AppStore auf eine App klicken, die den selben Namen trägt wie #metas neues "Gefängnis". #Mastodon ist zumindest unique.

To all newcomers:

When you see "503" on a page, it means "503 Service Unavailable" and that means "server has a breakdown, please try again".
Since the last twexit rush it happens from time to time.
Don't worry, just try again.

pls boost

Hey Elon!

So many respectable users have left Twitter that, given the politics and “character” of who remains, you may be compelled to name it Shitter, Truth Social 2, Bag of MAGAts, Klandestine Nation, or the NeoNazi Network.

Welcome, new Mastodonians!

It's hard finding content you are looking for when you first arrive here from whatever failed social media platform you were on. So if you're looking for talking fish or #AshkenormativeCuisine, look no further! I'm pretty much your only option for the time being, at least until Big Mouth Billy Bass or Larry the Lokshen Kugel join Mastodon.

Follow me for more useful tips! And don't forget to smash that like button!

Ich zieh mich mal zum Abendnickerchen zurück, um die Server zu entlasten. #twexodus

hey mastodon admins, BRACE FOR IMPACT!
twitter did something dumb again.

looks like twitter has now disabled the ability for people without an account to view tweets.
test it with an inkognito tab.
this is bad for indiedev and artist.
This also breaks the preview on other platforms like discord or telegram.

@CNN on it

Theres.life relatively had a lot of active users(67) at twexodus (Nov 2022) which dropped off by Jan 2023 (55 users) and has remained pretty constant since (range 55-59). https://fediverse.observer/theres.life .
I thought this might be a similar pattern for all of the fediverse so I checked out the largest instance mastodon.social. They also had a lot of active users at twexodus (239,322) which dropped off by Feb (145,245 users) but then has shown steady growth and has almost returned to twexodus levels (222,109 users by May) https://fediverse.observer/mastodon.social
note: in the above I've ignored Junes data, as we're only 10 days in.

@RiveDroite

I had Mastodon way back in 2018, but I didn't use it much until the #Twexodus 😅

How do you do the narcissist's prayer in regards to #meghanandharry, #dukeandduchessofsuck?

It did happen.

It happened, and it was tWo HoUrS of being chased in MaNhAtTan.

It was tWo HoUrS and it was a BiG dEal!

Wait, it didn't... and it wasn't? That's not my fault.

And if it is, I didn't call #backgrid .

And if I did call backgrid, I absolutely meant for it to harken memories of #princessdiana .

And if everyone saw through me, I WANT PRIVACY!

I got disgusted by those two, and then the first big #Twexodus wave helped propel me on here, and now I have a solid number of friends and tons of interactions. :D

This is an interesting choice of words, as /I/ didn't *do* anything. 🙃 #twitter #twexodus (is that a hashtag?).

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.

I appreciate why it happens. Still, I look forward to the day when references to twitter are less than 20% of my timeline. It'll be glorious to have the conversation here. #twexodus

@w7voa
His transparent attempt to make #Twitter the #FauxNews of the web will only accelerate the #Twexodus. A platform that readmits traitor Michael Flynn and bans progressive accounts isn't a forum for #freespeech. It's a fascist propaganda outlet.

Mastodon für Umsteiger

Der #twexodus, den Elon Musk ausgelöst hat, führt zu ungeahnten Zuwächsen bei Mastodon.

Mastodon ist nicht Twitter. Mastodon kann aber wie Twitter sein, nur besser.

Als ich so 2009 meinen aktuellen Twitteraccount angelegt hatte, gab es noch die ungefilterte Timeline. Man konnte einfach so sehen, was auf Twitter lief, ohne einen Account zu haben. Man sah einfach alle Tweets.

Das ging damals no

https://volkerkoenig.de/2022/12/mastodon-fuer-umsteiger/

Well, I'm done doing word art for instances. It's either because the
- local feed isn't public
- there's less than 10 active users
- the instances's had no activity in the last 5 days.
I've done word art on the local feed of the following five Christian instances
- Bibly.com
- episcodon.net
- deacon.social
- rcsocial.net
- theres.life
It gives an interesting snapshot as to the differences between them.
Doing these I've noticed that some instances were created in enthusiasm as part of the #twexodus and have now gone quiet, though the lights remain on. I suspect this is a reflection of the greater twexodus. Some will remain, some will not.

Apologies (and considerable self-guilt) for wallowing in Twitter news, but this is quite the moment.

I've just caught the BBC's top-of-the-hour newscast, and the fact that Twitter is banning posts / profiles for referencing other services made the news summary.

Web story: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-your-money-64021412'

For anyone who doesn't think this isn't huge news with global impact, think again.

NPR as well as of the 5pm E.T. news rundown, nothing on the website yet.

Aus aktuellem Anlass möchten einige neue Nutzer:innen Mastodon und das Fediverse kennen lernen. Wie heißen alle Neuankömmlinge #neuHier herzlich willkommen und haben auch noch jede Menge Platz für weitere Nutzer:innen! Unsere Moderatoren @vorletzter, @peter und @letterus helfen euch gerne weiter.
Bitte bleibt offen, neugierig und kommuniziert wertschätzend: Dieses Netzwerk ist anders als Twitter und das soll auch so sein. #twExodus

Läuft gut. Macht ruhig so weiter. Und immer melden, wenn es irgendwo innere oder äußere Widerstände gibt. Bei vielem vielleicht erst einmal neugierig sein. Ja, das hier ist anders als Twitter. Ja, das ist Absicht. 😋 #twExodus
