Oh shit, somehow it never crossed my mind that users from TikTok would come over here.
Welcome to all of you #TikTokRefugees. You all seem more decent than Redditors and most #TwitterRefugees.

@EliteMooseTaskForce Officially, they are called "toots", but in general, they can be called "posts" and #TwitterRefugees tend to still call them "tweets", which is not exactly correct but gets the point across. I hope, that clears things up and doesn't confuse :)

Happy to read that #Bluesky is attracting #TwitterRefugees but slightly worried that a critical mass might develop over there and I'll feel pressured to join in. I logged out of #Xdotcom a while ago for obvious reasons & I feel like I get as much scrolling microblogging as I need here on #Mastodon plus I am happy that this place cannot be bought & sold

My #LinkedIn is awash with people commenting about their dilemma of using #elonmusk's #hellsite, as if, AS IF they'd only just woken up to his #fascist agenda? I mean, what about the 2 MILLION OF US who migrated here in 2022 very much because WE KNEW? Anyone remembers the hashtag #twitterrefugees?
I suspect it is the threat of legal action with the #OnlineSafetyAct that finally got them to move their heads out of their arses. If only they wouldn't sing the praises of #Threads & #Bluesky...🤔 -
In short, I have faith that this democratized little network will be fine. Even when the #twitterrefugees started to pollute and take over some parts, the rest was just fine.
Let's enjoy the ride. 😎

@dogzilla @Exiled New Yorker - Connie To be fair, it's undeniable that there are these vastly different factions in the Fediverse.
The Old Guard, @crossgolf_rebel 🤍 on Calckey :firefish: is one of them, has been around since long before there was even Mastodon. The Fediverse didn't start with Mastodon. The Fediverse as we have it now started in 2010 with Friendica, almost 6 years before Mastodon, and it also included Hubzilla which started life in 2012. Both projects which were and still are for extreme tech geeks because even Friendica is too unwieldy for your typical casual social media user.
So that Old Guard consists of absolute über-geeks on Linux PCs and laptops, many of whom run their own instances without any help from Docker or Yunohost. From their perspective, it was Mastodon which had arrived and federated with Friendica and Hubzilla, not the other way around, because Friendica and Hubzilla had been there first, and Mastodon had always spoken a language which they spoke, too.
Needless to say that they find Mastodon ridiculously underequipped and underwhelming. In fact, Mastodon's refusal to even support certain features of other projects makes life harder for them if they want to stay compatible with Mastodon.
Then you have the millions of Twitter refugees, almost all of whom were mollycoddled and railroaded to their first Fediverse home with as little explanation as possible. They're completely different. They're mostly not very interested in technology, and more of them feel disturbed by Linux talk than use Linux. In fact, most of them are on phones.
Many didn't even know that Mastodon is decentralised until a few months in. Most thought that the Fediverse is only vanilla Mastodon for at least their first three months, during which they got used to their nice and cosy and fluffy and friendly Mastodon-only Fediverse with no posts longer than 500 characters and no text formatting and no quotes etc.
As they're so numerous, they managed to shape Fediverse culture around being non-tech and, worse yet, around the Fediverse being only vanilla Mastodon. And yes, completely disregarding the Old Guard because they knew neither the Old Guard nor the places where the Old Guard resides.
When they came across their first "toot" that looked "weird" because it wasn't a vanilla Mastodon toot, they were greatly disturbed. They felt like whatever project that post came from, Akkoma, CalcKey, Friendica, Hubzilla, whatever, had maliciously intruded into their nice and cosy and fluffy and friendly Mastodon-only Fediverse. And they wanted that to go away again.
They did not want to read what they were told then: Friendica and Hubzilla are not intruders. They were here first. They had been here years before there was even Mastodon. There has never been a time during which the Fediverse was only vanilla Mastodon.
It's such people who demand that the users of everything that isn't vanilla Mastodon limit what they do to what's possible on vanilla Mastodon in order not to disturb those who want the Fediverse to be only vanilla Mastodon. No posts longer than 500 characters, no text formatting, no quotes, no embedded images which don't work on Mastodon anyway, no embedded hyperlinks (only URLs in plain sight instead) etc.
I guess it's clear why the users of everything from Akkoma to Firefish to Friendica to Hubzilla refuse to let themselves be limited by the vastly more numerous Mastodon users.
Well, and then there's the third faction. It's those who have never really arrived in the Fediverse. They don't want anything different. They want Twitter without Musk. Now they're sitting on mastodon.social or another big general-purpose instance and patiently waiting for Bluesky to open registrations because Bluesky is much closer to Twitter without Musk.
These people use Mastodon exactly like they used to use Twitter. Official app only, no more than 280 characters, no alt-texts, no hashtags (what do you mean, Mastodon does not have The Algorithm), no content warnings etc. The only way they've adapted to Mastodon, if at all, wass/tweet/toot.

Over in the strange birdie site, Elon Musk tells the world he about to remove the ability to block users who resort to bullying and harassment. Whether this for supposed 'free speech' or because he wants advertisers to have full access to everyone, who knows. One thing for certain, we'll see another massive surge of new users over here on Mastodon.

I have seen so many people over on #Twitter say that they're coming over to #Mastodon if so. I welcome all the #twitterrefugees

Hello to the #fediverse !
On Twitter I had many #FBPE & #FBPPR mutuals, and I'm missing that lively community.
Many such people are now #TwitterRefugees
I will follow back accounts on Mastodon that would like to #RejoinEU or would like #ProportionalRepresentaton

...struggling to accommodate a few 100k #TwitterRefugees. My feeling is that there is a group effort to accommodate and welcome everyone. 😀
Let's even say these newcomers all become good #Fedizens in no time, embracing cultural aspects like #AltText right away.
This still leaves the 13m #Fedizens against (potentially) 1.400 mn #Metas.
(I know, not everyone will want to sign up with #Threads...)Which leads us back to my chart of the ant-eater...

I tried hard to get a guy to give Mastodon a chance. He reluctantly signed up and complained nonstop. He just tooted that he just can’t make this work (no rationale) and he’s going to Blue Sky after having access to that for a whole two days. Can’t save them all!
ALSO: I won’t miss the complaining. 🙃

@curry_ryder Hi there. You'll find loads of us #Twitterrefugees over here. The first thing to do is think about an introduction. On Mastodon the hashtag is your friend. It how to find what you looking for. If you search on #Introduction then you'll see loads of other intros to give you an idea.

CW: Illustrated, abstract eye-contact.
Hello #friends, old and new! Hope this day is treating you good.
Here, have a tiny #present from a normal-sized person or a normal-sized present from a #giant, whatever you prefer ^__^
This is a super old one (from 2010!) for my friend B, who is not on the #fediverse, unfortunately.

TW for some despising Space Karen:
A visit to the bird site revealed good news... Less ads so less revenue for him.
There was also considerably less tweets than normal. I hope we stay migrated and public bodies establish a presence here.

For all the new #TwitterRefugees and #TwitterDown escapees, here's the blueberry muffin recipe my mom used when I was wee. There. Now we're friends. Go make some muffins for your perfect self.
The text of the recipe is in the image description of the photos if you'd rather have that.

@vaweisman You might want to go read the posts at #LockAndLeave If you just deactivate, in 30 days your account can be reactivated by anyone, your follows,followers & tweets will be gone but every @reply that ever went to you will now go to the fake you. It only takes a few minutes to reactivate securely lock the account and log out. Elmo gets no benefit & your account can’t be spoofed. #Twitter #TwitterMigration #TwitterRefugees #Mastodon #MastodonMigration

#HowTo reply on #Mastodon: Please be courteous - when replying to a toot, click or tap the globy thingy and select 'Only people I follow'.
Posting this for #TwitterRefugees because this works very counterintuitive when migrating from Twitter.

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.

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. :)

Hey comrades #twitterrefugees and longtime Mastodon folx ~ I’m checking things out here. If you’ve come over (or were always here) and are into #digitalhealth #meddevice #privacy #healthcare #innovation #pinksocks #dataprivacy #compliance #healthequity #patients … please say hi and please invite me to join the conversation 👋🏻 I’ve had a #blog #HealthBlawg and a #podcast #HarlowOnHC for a while. Day job: compliance and privacy at a #medicaldevice co. Been thinking about this stuff for a long time. #introduction
