#MastodonNews April 30, 2023
Tech media starting to take notice of the insane #Bluesky Terms of Service.
Mashable: What to know before signing up for Bluesky - Signing up means signing over your content. >>> https://mashable.com/article/bluesky-twitter-terms-of-service
"You know what they say in tech: move fast, break things, and claim ownership of your users' content!"
Let's make it a game to figure out the insane overreach #Bluesky are attempting.
Hint directly from their Terms of Service (https://staging.bsky.app/support/tos):
a. "...website located at bsky.social (“Site”), [AND!] the Authenticated Transfer [AT] social protocol (“Protocol”)"
b. "...our Site, Protocol, and App... are collectively called the “Services.”"
c. "By making any User Content available through the Services, you hereby grant to Bluesky..."
Any guesses?
Elon's new plan to monetize Twitter is brilliant. Now that he has restored the #EightBuckSchmuck blue checkmark to wealthy famous people who don't want it, he can charge them a stiff fee to remove it again.
Flipboard... The news reading app, whose founder was once on Twitter’s board of directors, is now going all in on the Fediverse.
engadget: Flipboard is leaning into Mastodon — and away from Twitter >>> https://www.engadget.com/flipboard-is-leaning-into-mastodon-and-away-from-twitter-160036103.html
“As we embrace ActivityPub at Flipboard, we’ll effectively allow anyone who's on Mastodon to follow a user on Flipboard...”
"...it’s not clear how much longer Flipboard will [support Twitter] “It's total chaos over there,”

I get to joke around and talk mastodon with godpod and his crew. We answer community questions, talk about twitter waves, funding instances and so much more.
I had a blast and look forward to continuing the story in future podcasts.
OH... and it's BY RON ;)

- Set up a new account on your new server
- Follow your old account
- BOOKMARK your best old account posts (say 20-30)
- Perform the standard migration process, which links old and new accounts
- BOOST your OWN old bookmarked posts from old-to-new, giving you a starting timeline, then your #Introduction

"Should I stay or should I go?" @Teri_Kanefield has written a very good long comparative analysis directed mostly at her Twitter followers...
Teri Kanefield: Twitter v. Mastodon v. Post v. Other Possibilities >>> https://terikanefield.com/socialmedia/
Spoiler... you should go to Mastodon. Twitter is now turning into a "right-wing propaganda machine" and Post is plagued by "reputational algorithms" and "micropayments".

The New Stack: Why a Twitter Founding Engineer Is Now All-in on Mastodon >>> https://thenewstack.io/why-a-twitter-founding-engineer-is-now-all-in-on-mastodon
Blaine Cook @blaine was one of the founding engineers of Twitter in 2006... I asked Cook if he thinks it’s likely that the fediverse can [become] the default platform for public conversation... “Yeah, I think it’s inevitable. We’ve seen a similar story before — the phone networks used to be monopolies.”

It’s an unspoken rule here and one of the things that makes this app great. Friends, let’s keep it up and add alt text and cw as needed.

She's a technology columnist for the Washington Post, suspended this evening from Twitter apparently for asking Musk to comment on a story involving Musk. Musk is demonstrating that he can extort censorship from the media with the ban hammer. Taylor was targeted to be an example. Other journalists are put on notice it's not them...this time, and reminded to toe the line. This is about press freedom. That's why we all should care.
#twittermigration
Mastodon is easy.
Search and follow hashtags you like.
Follow a bunch of people to fill your timeline (prune back later)
If you want people to follow you:
- interact (add hashtags to your toots to get interactions)
- add a profile picture
- add a pinned #introduction toot and hashtag the crap out of it with all your interests
Boost toots you like to spread them around the Fediverse
Add alt text to images
And above all...
Be excellent to each other !!!
😉 🤟🤟🤟
In just about a month, we've very clearly seen the value in our presence here, for reaching new people and having great conversations. Here's to the future of the fediverse! #SocialMedia #TwitterMigration
