@MalcolmNance
Good to see your Mastodon presence and toots! I lost track of you when you went to fight as a volunteer in #Ukraine . Things got worse for awhile during the great #twitter meltdown when so many of us here became #TwitterRefugee s.
Readers, I recommend Malcom Nance to you for his reporting and authoritative analysis of matters #military, #Ukraine, #Russia , #intelligence and more. He was, and I presume remains, ahead of the current events you read about elsewhere.
I love you all and hope you have a great day. I just wanted to mention that mastodon.social has been a problematic instance and is fediblocked on many pods.
Please refollow me on your new pod if you run into the same problems my friends have unless you are into the Christian religion or have other, personal reasons for being antagonistic to the existential nihilist perspective.
Mutual Aid is always greatly appreciated, but "xtian charity" and prey-ers are unacceptable.
Since monotheism is apparently a thing and I'm currently studying the Clear Quran, private and appropriate conversations about Islam are welcome, but please respect my friends' and followers' religious beliefs and/or lack thereof.
Welcome to the fediverse; we are so glad that you are here!

@bluelovesummer.bsky.social Let me know how I can help you grow ~ #TwitterRefugee
@blakcy@mastodon.social , your DM was censored by your pod, but my pod gave me the email notice.
I tried to screenshot it, but I'm having technical difficulties.
I amplify disabled voices and repost mutual aid requests because my life sucks and that's the only hobby I have that makes me feel good about myself, but I don't want to get my whole pod banned!
If you are a #TikTokRefugee #TwitterRefugee #FacebookRefugee #YouTubeRefugee then let's get you settled in after we save your life; you can have accounts on more than one pod and mastodon.social has been problematic, so many of us have blocked it.
To any new arrivals here on the fediverse - you are welcome here.
Any step one can make to move away from the domination of proprietary platforms, technologies and all kinds of billionaires and fascists, is a potentially good thing. Things might be confusing to you at first, as all change can be difficult. Things are definitely not perfect here either and the fediverse has its own set of problems, but there are many helpful and friendly communities here. I wish you that you find your people (and foxes, and cats etc)
I would also like to respectfully ask the people who moved here to refrain from calling yourself #TwitterRefugee or #RedditRefugee or anything like that. An alternative is simply saying that you left a certain platform, or moved away.
I would like to encourage you to learn more about what it is like to be a refugee, and if it is possible for you, consider donating to organizations that help refugees. One such example of an organization is: https://www.pah.org.pl/en/ukraine
Being a refugee is tied to a lot of harship and severe trauma, to put it mildly, and using this word to describe changing social media platforms is not adequate.
But, what did I expect from such perfect timing as promoting Twitter/X in 2024 …

Qu'est-ce qu'il faut encore aux gens pour quitter twitter alias X??
Qui était déjà pas net avant, opacité des algorithmes manque de personnel modération approximative voire pire, polarisation des débats, etc… mais maintenant ça va juste devenir la tribune des fachos.
Bassem Youssef a été exclu de X, et c'est pas fini…
Pas assez de monde ici…!!

Petite piqure de rappel pour celles et ceux qui vondront quitter le "twitternic" après les dernières inepties de #musk...
Il existe un "Carparthia" pouvant accueillir les #x passagers : #mastodon !

Oh dang! Musk changed Twitter’s algorithm to prioritize his tweets and make sure they’re at the top of everyone’s feed. So glad I left! https://apple.news/ATKYCgatHSOq3O74_Sal0hQ
Also interesting insight into how European countries hold the power to stop Musk.
M’yello. I am giving Mastodon another shot. So here’s another #introduction :
I am a #TwitterRefugee from The Great Migration.
I love humor, jokes and funny toots.
I love to read. Mostly horror and thriller.
I love art doodling and music.
Also, not that it defines my life, but I am just now embracing my #ADHD and how it affects my daily existence.
Ein Quantenhexer im Ruhestand. Ursprünglich Kommunikationsdesigner. Nö, das ist nicht mein richtiger Name. Jo, das ist meine Silhouette. Beheimatet in Hamburg. Liebt die Natur mehr als den Menschen. Technik- und Technofreak. Hilfsbereit. Ex-Gangster. Psychoseerfahren. Antitheist. Linksgrüner Kiffer. #Antifa #FCKAFD #FCSP #LGBTQ #ADHD #TwitterRefugee #Iliketolike #etcetera
Almost a year since I joined #Mastodon! Just hit 300 followers. Still at a third of what I had on Xitter, but there seems to be more traffic than what I had over there. Mastodon is a work in progress, but it's growing on me.

@Ivory 🤞An IPad app for Threads🧵?
Some web developers have moved on to make clients for other platforms. For instance, the makers of Tweetbot created Ivory for Mastodon. But Threads, with its nearly 100 million monthly active users, is a particularly green pasture compared to Mastodon, Bluesky, & all the other X alternatives that have come along recently.

Ich bin heute genau ein Jahr auf #mastodon
**Mastodon funktioniert für mich**.
#Twix funktioniert schon lange nicht mehr.
Anfangs war ich parallel auch an mastodon.social angemeldet. Das hatte damals wg. massivem Zulauf heftige Perfomance Probleme.
Das mit der Föderation habe ich schnell begriffen und bin so auf muenchen.social gelandet.
Das offene #fediverse ist überhaupt das stärkste Argument für #Mastodon . Ich hoffe dass das bekannter wird und noch mehr Zulauf bekommt.
So far, @ivory seems to be ahead in the race of which app people use when they access Mastodon. 👏👏 Feel free to participate in the ongoing poll at Artifact.

@evawolfangel Ich bin ebenfalls #twitterrefugee nun seit recht genau einem Jahr #neuhier.
Der Timeline Algorithmus drüben war schon ein zweischneidiges Schwert.
Interessante Themen mit viel Interaktion waren schneller präsent -
"Die News finden dich"
Auf Mastodon geht vieles auch unter wen man nicht ständig online ist.
Der Algorithmus fördert aber auch klar den Filterblasen-Effekt und den Trend zur Radikalisierung durch polarisierende Tweets.

New instance & #introduction: Hi. I am a freelance economist (hired as a consultant) with an interest professionally and personally in public policy that improves public wellbeing/welfare — it's not a fixed size pie, nor is it infinite; with effort, we can make things better. I was a #twitterRefugee, but this place is a fine home, now — lots of news & a way to scan topical literature. I try to get outside every day — it helps. So does #running! Often post #photos. More in my header/profile.
I haven't been in Twitter for awhile and I'm pushing a big fundraiser so figured it's a waste of resources to not push there, while I still have access to it.
But in this time I was away, owner of the platform has gone from "I pretend to support Ukraine" to full "I'm gonna spread russian propaganda openly and try to get you all killed by withdrawing support"
For the love of God, please try to get your friends to switch to whatever, even Threads will be better at this point.
