Saw this yesterday on Birdsite and thought it summed up how Great Thunberg gets treated by the billionaire press cartel

@thor Yeah one of the problems with Twitter (and can be a problem here as well) is the constant platforming of only large accounts at the expense of everyone else's voice. It's not a public square so much as like watching establishment news or something. I'm far more interested in following smaller accounts and giving them a voice so we get new perspectives.

Just a reminder to folks that are here from bird site, please include your mastodon handles in your profile over at twitter so folks who follow you can migrate here.

Fedifinder here doesn't just help you track your followers over to here, it'll also tell you if it can find your account in your own profile to help *your* followers too https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

Twitter suspension of parody accounts is a problem because Twitter is becoming a parody of itself.

One thing you notice quickly after spending any time on Masto is that everyone on Twitter—especially high-follower accounts—writes their posts to be QTed. It’s not only the ubiquitous asides and defensiveness; it’s the topics that people choose and the content that they highlight. Tweets are written to anchor broader arguments and battles in a way that Masto posts are not.

How many times can one person fail to learn `shutdown -h` does not print “help”.

22,632 accounts
+8 in the last hour
+744 in the last day
+4,414 in the last week

I remain genuinely and pleasantly shocked that in the course of 10 days or so, we all just went, “no way, eff this, we’re going to @Mastodon”, and now we’re just here and people are so nice and writing alt-text in their images and sharing great stuff and using content warnings and everything. Obviously none of this would have been possible without years of work by #Fediverse / #ActivityHub devs that came before. Even so, this is really something, no? 😃

Holy hell the twitter exodus is **still** accelerating. The influx of new users is up about 33% from yesterday, our biggest day so far. We are now seeing over 1,300 new users every day on QOTO!

Take time to do what makes your soul happy.

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.
