How successful has Twitter's rebrand to X been? Well, most people still refer to the platform as "X, formerly Twitter," so we're going to say, not very. The team at Creative Bloq report on the blue bird's last gasp, as X sunsets the twitter.com URL, and how — no surprise — that's not gone smoothly.
What's the point of the #fediverse if one #instance is bigger than the rest combined? Then it becomes #twitter all over again, exactly what the fediverse is there to avoid.
When people say "#Mastodon is like early Twitter," they often refer to the absence of algorithmic amplification & ads or the functionality set. But what makes it like early #Twitter in my opinion, isn't that.
It's that the #Fediverse enables you to easily connect with real, awesome humans from anywhere: makers, celebrities, community leaders, top experts in their fields. Just tag them with an honest post and you'll have wonderful interactions such as this one. 🤩

I thinking about one thing that #fediverse self-hosting landscape lacks. Well it is not only about Fediverse per se. I dream to have something like a personal "trailer", or technically speaking, a server, on the internet, where I can add various capabilities if need them. For example: 📜 microblogging like Mastodon. 📖 Long-reads blogging like Medium 🖼️ Photos and albums 📷 Video upload at least one of these: 📬 deltachat relay 📪 Briar "mailbox". 💬 Simplex relay
@bike4climate Skriver tydligt och rakt på sak om hur idiotiskt det är att svenska ledare sköter sin kommunikation på plattformar som t.ex Twitter.
Jag skulle vilja förstärka inlägget med en fråga, hur skulle det se ut om ditt företag eller våra myndigheter använde hotmail.com för sin officiella kommunikation?
Man kann diesen Text gar nicht oft genug loben und verbreiten! Er spricht offen ein Problem an, was hier im #Fediverse schon lange diskutiert wird, weil es gerne als Argument genutzt wird, um #instagram #bluesky #meta #twitter #x etc. nicht zu verlassen.
"Da habe ich aber 10.000 Follower und hier nur 500 😭 "
Wenn ihr dieses Argument hört, schickt den Leuten diesen Artikel über die "Reichweitenlüge":
