The week is over, here are some charts:
For two weeks in a row, #Mastodon brought more #traffic than #X / #Twitter to heise.de.
But I forgot, that's not just via @heiseonline, but also @heisec, @ct_Magazin, @heiseautos, @iX_Magazin etc. (but for Twitter its the same).
#Bluesky is way behind, #Threads even more. Only Twitter is clearly falling.

Exactly two years ago, we started to post links on #Mastodon via our account @heiseonline 👇
mastodon.social/@heiseonline/1…
It took longer, than I expected, but here we are: it seems like this account now brings continuously more #traffic to heise.de than #X (#Twitter) in its entirety, although it only has ¼ of the follower number (and many of them don't seem to be active anymore).
I'll prepare some graphs after the weekend.

Vorerst ist das hier der offizielle Mastodon-Account von heise online. Wird jetzt erst einmal händisch befüllt, aber wir haben schon weitergehende Pläne und wollen hier mehr machen.Mastodon
To migrate to a new #Mastodon #instance:
1. Find a new server.
You can either use this great #tool by @TheKinrar to help you choose:
instances.social
Or the official tool (with a limited selection):
joinmastodon.org/servers
2. Create a profile on the new #server
3. Next, redirect both #profiles to each other:
.../settings/migration (Move.../Moving...)
4. You can optionally choose to export & import your data: .../settings/export
When @DickHardt, founder and CEO of hello.coop joined the fediverse, he couldn’t find the news he cared about. So he launched press.coop, and created accounts mirroring the X or RSS feeds of sites he or others from the community wanted to follow. Some accounts got thousands of followers. When our publishers joined the fediverse, Dick and team decided that these publisher-owned accounts might be a more direct way for people to connect with the publisher and their content. So over the next week nearly 100 press.coop accounts will be migrated to official publisher Flipboard.com accounts. If you’re already following a press.coop account, you’ll automatically follow the new one, and there’s no need to do anything. Here’s the full list:

I joined Twitter in 2008, making 7,500 posts through the years. I deactivated my X account today.
I greatly curtailed my usage of the platform since November 2023, when my employer @Flipboard pulled back from engagement. And I haven't posted since April but kept it open for work reasons (to monitor news, etc.).
Why today? The U.S. election made clear how many of my fellow Americans live entirely in "alternative facts" ecosystems. I no longer wish to participate in such a platform — so rife with unchecked misinformation and disinformation ... basically an outrage machine where the algorithm rewards lies and conspiracy theories.
If you're still on X, why?
I screenshot my profile for posterity. And here's also Flipboard's 2023 announcement.
