Data Graham posted:Re: Twitter replacements, it seems like the main thing keeping any of them from really serving the purpose is posts being embeddable. Right? Not sure, but the general vibe there is don't repost someone's posts externally without consent. There was a lot of drama the other day with the thread unroll bot being added and then almost immediately banned by a load of instances. Journalists and cops also seem prime targets for the banhammer. Maybe that will change as the user base grows and develops. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Nov 18, 2022 |

Dapper_Swindler posted:Yeah, I am seeing a lot of artists and content creators and others posting “hey if this place burns here is my Instagram or discord or whatever” or poo poo similar. It’s the beginning of the end. Seen a lot of journalists with decent followings start asking where's a good place to go. Always great when you see one get suggested to try mastodon, then like two hours later their like, "ah well, that was confusing as hell, so yeah, no.". Would be interested to see mastodon user numbers in a few weeks and see how many people will migrate there. I sure as hell have seen a lot people bounce right off it, but I'm sure they'll be picking up a few. Edit: oh just read the above posts. Yeah probably a good thing journalists aren't having much luck with it then. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Nov 18, 2022 |

I had two Twitter accounts, one for art and one for dumb funny poo poo. If the culture of Mastodon is to not share those posts far and wide then it is dead on arrival for me, especially as a replacement for art Twitter.

Mastadon would a be a great place for journalists if outlets would run their own instances. Solves the verification problem. @BobSmith@NYTimes would be pretty clear.

This was also the vibe from the existing users. Like if you are a large org like a media group then you should definitely run your own server (and shoulder the bandwidth costs). Plus it makes it easier for everyone else to mass block a_cunt@dailymail.co.uk.

Yeah, but part of why journalists liked tweeter it is that could also retweet you know people protesting in Iran, or other reporters in Ukraine. having a bit of a weird half public/half private thing could be a bit of a thing (although journalists of all people should be good at knowing about asking for republishing stuff and whatever). cohsae posted:He's trying to show that he's not mad and is in fact actually laughing.

Tricky Ed posted:Twitter, the service, isn't likely to stop working in the next few days, or probably weeks. But it died today. Whatever keeps lurching forward isn't going to be built and run by the people who made it what it is. It'll be built and run by the people who aren't happy with what it is and chose to stay after the new boss pulled an atomic seagull power move. This is the correct take. Twitter almost certainly isn't going to explode tomorrow or the day after etc etc (although I'm still rooting for the brazilians and their immense posting power on sunday.) But this has kicked just about everyone I know who uses the platform to start building the infrastructure they'll eventually use to leave it entirely. Like if loving dril, the mascot of the entire goddamn site, is posting his find me here links, there's no way the userbase and reputation can ever recover. https://twitter.com/garius/status/1588115310124539904 Robo Reagan posted:spirit halloween missed their chance by a month LMAO

I have never used the iOS twitter ap until tonight. And Oh My God I Hate it. It keeps moving sideways in the topic I want to read and I can't go back to where I was and I have to scroll down 50 posts I already saw to see where I was up to. Please don't let SA die. Being able to read a thread and go to the last page or last read post saves my life.

My twitter feed this morning was completely borked. Every fifth post was an add and most of them were for various Chinese travel destinations. The rest were those crappy quizzes nobody ever takes and the American Catholic League. Either the algorithm has completely forgot me or those are the only clients they have left.

This is new and hilarious, a huge number of genshin impact players have log in unalterably linked to twitter, my kid has tried unlinking and going with a different option and it's broken. If twitter goes down then welp.

The person running the Musk flight tracker should make sure to tell everyone what offsite he's moving to. It would be hilarious if that somehow survived the tweetpocalypse
