Twitter to Mastodon

[rach3rd]

#TwitterMigration #Mastodon

For those interested in moving off of Twitter to Mastodon, I created an online form for #Neurodivergent people so we can easily find each other. Simply add your new Mastodon address here:

https://forms.gle/i5EgVXcLUyPpWZ3c8…

You can then view the associated spreadsheet of Mastodon addresses and download a CSV file to import into your Mastodon Follow List. Since Mastodon does not let you view someone else's Follow list this is the quickest way I could figure out to follow other autistics.

I got the idea from the History form (Histodons) on the GitHub - nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon: A list of various lists consisting of academics on Mastodon page.

If you need some help getting on Mastodon let me know in the comments.

Even a conservative may disagree with the garbage Elon Musk comes up with.

I think it would be good if people went over to an opensource alternative. Although I have still no idea why people enjoy this type of social media platform. For me its still Youtube, forums and the instant messengers.

Forums beat social platforms any day for me.

"Mastodon"? What in the world is this now?

Same here for the most part.

I cant tell if that's more or less irritating.

Still sounds pretty dumb to me, but I never did really grasp social media.

I only use carrier pigeons for my social networking. That's what all the cool people do now.

Not being controlled by mega corporations is good. For videos there is also peertube.

I was interested in alternative and niche internet platforms for a while, Usenet, IRC, message boards, pleroma, peer tube etc They are all overwhelmingly used by either techies or "anti PC" people. They aren't made for that, but that's what it always ends up being used for, and it doesn't appeal to most people.

For a minute I thought "anti PC" to mean either dedicated fans of MacOS or console gamers.
Sweet bliss of ignorance.
I am working on being more of a conscientious objector to the "culture war." Unfortunately I have a longstanding Reddit reading habit & a tendency to doomscroll standing in the way.

Whatever happened to smoke signals? And drums?

It's all about carrier pigeons now. Twitter and facebook is out, pigeons are in.

And I just invested in all those goat skins…

I'm enjoying how much more friendly and mature the conversations are over at Mastodon. People aren't automatically fighting and tearing at each other.

This is like finally quitting vodka just to replace it with whiskey.

You're going to get liver cirrhosis all the same.

I've met some new photographers - it has been most enjoyable.
