  1. "The #TwitterMeltdown made me realize something important: I’m a seriously prolific content creator. And I’ve been giving away all that content free to a platform that not only profits from it but treats me like garbage/unfairly…
    When I downloaded my #TwitterArchive, it hit me like a ton of bricks that most of that content was not sitting in my website, so they could just disappear if a billionaire decides to cut me off from the platform." #POSSE

  3. Get it through your head: Elon Musk is not really good at this but pretending to be bad at it. He’s just bad at it. This is who is. This is his “genius” at work, performing at the absolute limit of his abilities.

  4. CW: Twitter

    Was ich am #TwitterMeltdown halt auch so schade finde: dass sich das Netz von dort jetzt zerfasert und sich auf verschiedene Alternativen verteilt. Die "Twitter-Community" mit dem Twitter-Schmäh und den typischen Twitter-Diskussionen wird's genauso wie Prä-Musk nie wieder geben. Ich vermiss das alles schon, weil ich hab mich dort digital Daheim gefühlt. Aber im Leben hat halt leider nix ewig Bestand und Veränderungen bringen zum Glück auch neue Chancen.

  6. A big shout out to those arriving or coming back in the current wave of #TwitterMigration thanks to the latest #TwitterMeltdown . Things will feel similar but different. Feel free to ask questions of us #fediverse old hats. We have some tools you didn't see on other places, like Spoiler/Content Warning titles so you can do things like talk about the latest episode of a TV show without worrying about people being pissed since they didn't see it yet. We make it easy to add ALT text to photos for people who need it. It takes a bit more work to get your stream started, by doing things like searching on and following hashtags and then following accounts you see using them. Once you do you are guaranteed to never have some black box algorithm shoveling crap posts at you for extra clicks. You have total control over your experience here because this isn't about milking you and your content dry for dollars. It's a network built and run for the users by the users not some VC investors and their techbro operators with delusions of grandeur.

  8. Now that I'm back in the Fediverse just in time for the latest Elon-induced #TwitterMeltdown, I should welcome people coming to Mastodon in the latest #TwitterMigration.

    So, welcome to my newest fellow ex-tweeps and soon-to-be-ex-tweeps. I hope you come to like it better here.

  10. Random thought: Darth Putin ends most of his tweets/posts with "I remain a master strategist." Maybe there should be a "Darth Musk(rat)" somewhere here in the Fediverse who ends his posts, "I remain a genius innovator"?

  12. For those of you fresh here from the #twittermeltdown, here are a couple of tips.

    Find like minded people and follow them. Include FediTips - @feditips

    Hashtags mean more here than on Twitter. Search for hashtags on your favourite subjects and follow them for a useful timeline.

    Writing an Introduction about yourself and pinning it to your profile. Include hashtags of the subjects that interest you so like minded people can find and follow you.

    Enjoy the lack of throttling.

  13. Whoops, looks like I spoke too soon and didn't have the whole story.

    Apparently *even if you have paid* $8/mo for what Elon laughably calls "verified" status, you still only get to see 6000 tweets a day!

    Granted, that's probably enough to satisfy most people. My back-of-envelope math figures that's about 5 solid hours of looking at tweets (3 seconds per tweet). But still, some die-hards will go past that!

  15. Hmm. There maybe legal issues here? What say you #lawfedi?

    If #Twitter keeps blue check on LeBron James account even though he doesn't want anything to do with, it maybe suggesting LeBron is endorsing the product even though he isn't. This seems more than dicey. #uspol #TwitterMeltdown

  17. 🚨🚨🚨 And BOOM. Love this from the Biden White House. But, they need to open up shop here sooner rather than later. #TwitterMeltdown axios.com/2023/03/31/twitter-v

  19. Goodness gracious. Even POLITICO is not gonna pay for blue checks on Elon's fascist funhouse. When you get 🤡ed by these guys. Yiiiikes. LMAO at the ongoing slow #TwitterMeltdown

  21. #Twitter is going through what some of us suspected would happen around December - a long, drawn out implosion as the quality of a Musk managed product deterioates into something cheesy, tacky, clunky and increasingly not as useful. Good.

    Even more reason to methodically settle in here and build a community here. It's so much nicer here anyways. @mastodonmigration #TwitterMigration #TwitterMeltdown

  23. We can tell how well Twitter is doing by the quality and appropriateness of its adverts.

    Big name brands, well targeted, indicate a healthy advertising ecosystem. Weird ads for niche products suggest something's wrong.

    I'm now being fed ads for discount ecumenical clothing. 🤯 #birdsite #Twitter #ElonMusk #twittermeltdown

  25. Twitter kicking out dead accounts that ain't Blue-subscription.

  26. Outage caused by someone deleting data for a service that does rate-limiting? (because you fired the people familiar with that service)

    Firing someone because a feature that *you* thought up backfired?

    These are n00b mistakes. Made by someone who I used to think was a brilliant entrepreneur. Now, just another bad manager, with some poser-engineer.

  27. NGL. #ElonsFascistFunhouse melting down on the very same day while his MAGA overlords in the House of Reps hold sham hearings hauling in former Twitter bosses is kind of warming my heart. I am enjoying the latest #TwitterMeltdown.

    World would be a better place if it just went away. And, hello new and old friends here on Mastodon. #MastodonMigration

  29. Another public announcement to all Mastodonians. Be patient. A #TwitterMeltdown means servers overload. Be cool with your admin (and send a tip if you can).

  31. How many creditors can Twitter/Elon Musk stiff? Is Elon taking lessons from Donald Trump in that regard?

    I understand the ex-Twitter employees who took the severance-pay deal (rather than prove how "hardcore" they were by overworking themselves) are not seeing their severance checks, either. I feel sorry for them, and I hope the California and even federal departments of labor are rectifying that situation.

  33. I don't think that it's a good idea to put that info front and center for everyone to see. It makes sense under the analytics page, but not before the like/comment counters where you can't hide it #Twitter #TwitterMeltdown
  34. Wieviele Künstler:innen verlieren gerade durch diesen #TwitterMeltdown eine Grundlage für Einkommen und Aufträge?
