No, Twitter has the right to transmit your data and such, but you retain copyright. Otherwise there wouldn't be as many artists on Twitter posting their work.

How does a "topic focused mastodon server" differ from, say, discord

Discord is good for active conversation not the shouting out into the wind/reading poo poo that other people shouted into the wind that twitter was always styled around.

Discords also get insanely unwieldy the more people are in them in my experience.

Servers are basically meaningless in mastodon it's all federated so you can talk to anyone on any mastodon* server.

*Technically it's any software that speaks activitypub

you aren't limited to viewing only stuff in that topic focused local instance, you can follow people or retweet stuff from any server that's linked up and it all shows up in one feed without channel or server hopping.

discord is a more like forums, with channels/threads and posts always appear in chronological order per thread. mastodon is more twitter-like, less conversational in its organization with a lot of stuff intermixed. discord is better for having conversations and organizing information, and twitter/mastodon are more like an interactive news feed that is (or can be) user-amplified (and also gives you the chance to scream at celebrities).

both are better than the truly psychotic nested comment style of social media like reddit :barf:

I'd like to apologize to the meme community for my comments. I understand now my remarks on All Your Base were hurtful and wrong.

I won't be happy until we go back to IRC. Remember how you could click the mIRC logo in the About screen and the dot over the letter "i" would bounce. Good times.

There aren't enough easter eggs in programs anymore.

lol at framing the chaos at twitter as just part of the big tech environment at the moment. times are tough, a lot of tech companies are firing everybody, trying to rehire them, and deliberately crashing themselves into the sun.
