In advance of the Musking mandates…a first, er, toot on Mastodon.

Mastodon question: If I want to move to another server, do I have to export my following graph first and if so how do I do this?

Since Elon Musk took ownership of Twitter, some users have jumped to Mastodon. But what is it, and how does it work? Here's what to know. https://nyti.ms/3tbPVny

"Call me crazy, but where I live the goal is not to come up with solutions; the goal is to reframe the problem so that it seems like it’s a specific group’s fault who I can then blame and become enraged by."

We've gone from "we believe in all legal free speech" to "activist groups protesting me are engaged in tortious interference" in a week.

being on Twitter right now is like playing the violin on the titanic except we are also making fun of the iceberg and the iceberg is getting genuinely mad

Day one of #NewTwitter

I don't have access to a tool I need to use to stop traffic to a system I'm trying to shut down, in order to save money to pay interest payments on the loan used to acquire the company.

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

Check out Fedi.Directory -- it's a list of "interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon and the Fediverse"

Hand-curated, just like Yahoo in the 90s!

I love it

I hope this platform has staying power because even with all its glitches and quirks it’s better than what’s going on rn on Twitter

Lots of Mastodon instances are struggling with the heavy influx of users. Twitter was the same in the early days. The Fail Whale, was something you’d see on a regular basis. Gives it a chance, things will get better.

Fail Mastodon stolen shamelessly from an article on the telegraph.

Intro:

I am currently a fellow at NYU Law and Cornell Tech's Digital Life Initiative, and have an SJD from Harvard Law School.

My work is on technology law and antitrust in the digital economy, how platforms such as Google, Facebook or Twitter(!) shape people’s political and consumption choices. I challenge the limits of current conceptions of privacy, consumer protection and antitrust in dealing with emerging instances of infrastructural and gatekeeping power.
