@ajsadauskas haha I saw what you did there

@ajsadauskas @TeacherGriff love it! I keep seeing tweet after tweet of ppl who took one look at one Mastodon instance with rules they didn’t like & noped away from all of Mastodon, and the replies are all “Wow, never going there!” And for a couple days I tried to correct the misperceptions…then realized, “Ah well, they’ll find some social app they like, eventually.”

@ajsadauskas Nice 🙂

@ajsadauskas I see what you did there

@ajsadauskas
Re bookmark feature: Twitter has bookmarks but it's so unintuitive in placement that most people never find it. (I consider this worse than not having it at all.)

Not intending to be splainy, just I use them and I constantly see people say the feature doesn't exist. It's so poorly advertised.

(It's under the share menu)

@ajsadauskas I love the smell of irony in the morning. Nice toot. Tnx

@ajsadauskas this is funny to me partly because (I'm assuming you don't already know this, so sorry in advance if you do) Twitter has been working on building its own non-ActivityPub federation protocol ever since it became aware that Mastodon exists. The original plan was for Twitter.com to simply become an instance on that network. God knows what's going to happen now

@ajsadauskas thank you so much for framing this the other way. This is beautiful.

@ajsadauskas

@hacks4pancakes

@ajsadauskas perfect.

@ajsadauskas i'm sure this was posted in the spirit of satire, but as someone who's never used twitter before and just learns how bad it is from other people... yeah it's exactly like this lol

@ajsadauskas To be fair, there is a bookmark feature.

@ajsadauskas yeah and the business model is not so sustainable either. One bezerk hyper capitalist at the top, and no protective rights for employees. That can’t last forever right? i’ve heard some are switching to mastodon

@ajsadauskas haha, nice. :D

@ajsadauskas this made me laugh

@ajsadauskas sadly the too many of the twitter refugees just ignore the CW

@ajsadauskas Loved that. Thank you.

@ajsadauskas I can't tell if this is satire or said in all seriousness but it's, without doubt, the best thing I've read in a while!

@janboehm ⬆️
@ajsadauskas

@ajsadauskas fair to say that Mastodon is a much, much better experience.

@ajsadauskas brilliant! 👏🏼👏🏼

@ajsadauskas

I love this, but Twitter does have a bookmark feature ;-)

@ajsadauskas

As someone who never used Twitter or had an account there, this is really interesting to me! Not that I had plans to mastexit, though.

@ajsadauskas

Not to mention that you get to read such brilliant posts as yours, without having to weed through countless asininities and malicious insults. 🙂

@ajsadauskas love Thanks.

@ajsadauskas hahahahaha, 😄 love it

@ajsadauskas you can edit toots?

@ajsadauskas Brilliant summary. Chapeau.

@ajsadauskas True that.

@ajsadauskas Well played!

@ajsadauskas 🤣

@ajsadauskas excellent 😂😂😂👏👏👏

@ajsadauskas
And Twits can only be 180 characters long! 🤦‍♂️

@ajsadauskas I would post this on twitter, but it doesn't even allow such long posts yet 🤷

@ajsadauskas I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off 😂
brilliant !

@ajsadauskas
Actually, there is a bookmark feature - I was using it all the time

@ajsadauskas Great points! They also *really* need to get rid of that feature which causes multiple people to reply to you with insults whenever you have an opinion about anything.

@ajsadauskas so good. 😂

(Twitter actually does have a bookmark feature fwiw, but I think few people found it as it was hidden behind a …)

@ajsadauskas 😍

@ajsadauskas

@ajsadauskas not all of this is tue.

@ajsadauskas You just made my day :ablobcatattention:

@ajsadauskas Such centralized models probably don’t scale well and being organized as a capitalist company, it needs growth and revenue to survive. Not sustainable. Seems a bit old fashioned.

@ajsadauskas You can use this style of toot for all nee technologies like electric cars or wind turbine. 🙃

@ajsadauskas (Note that Twitter does have bookmarks.)

@ajsadauskas 😂

@ajsadauskas i agree on everything but the Bookmarks. Twitter has a bookmark-feature...

@ajsadauskas genius, thank you! May I share this on Twitter please? With credit to you, of course, and a link to your toot 😊

@ajsadauskas 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This made me giggle! Ah to have Twitter without ads, really didn't moderation that seems to favour fascists, can you imagine?
(point of note though, Twitter does indeed have separate ways to share, like and bookmark)

@ajsadauskas I love the way you"sound" this write ups on my damn PIANO 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹 !!!

@ajsadauskas 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This made me giggle! Ah to have Twitter without ads, and decent moderation that doesn't seems to favour fascists, can you imagine?
(point of note though, Twitter does indeed have separate ways to share, like and bookmark)

@ajsadauskas the main thing i like about twitter over mastodon is knowing when ppl like what i retweet

@ajsadauskas Just brilliant. 😂

@ajsadauskas
Nice, the ultimate truth about Twitter.

@ajsadauskas you gotta be mild with them. Mastodon is run by volunteers, while Twitter is only worth 44 billion and only has thousands of people behind it. What could those possibly achieve?

@ajsadauskas I'm a bit confused because I'm under the impression that you can't edit toots in Mastodon either.

Everything else seems to be correct :)

@ajsadauskas
Hope you don't mind, I've taken a screen shot to the other place... If you object of course I will delete!
I'm finding I'm using Mastodon more like I used to use Medium, before it fell off a cliff. Conversation instead of spat.

@ajsadauskas Agreed, I don’t see Twitter being a serious replacement and it may not last that long either

@ajsadauskas Brilliant 😂

@ajsadauskas Actually, Twitter does have a bookmark feature. Confusingly it is called ‘bookmark’.

@ajsadauskas ace 👏👏👏👏👏👏👌

@ajsadauskas wow, extremely well put! I don't think this #Twitter thing will ever succeed, especially with their algorithm idea #Mastodon #Fediverse #TwitterMigration

@ajsadauskas
CLeVEr. lol

@ajsadauskas yeah but where are my OSINT feeds.

@ajsadauskas very clever - and true x

@ajsadauskas Also have you noticed the default is to curate what you see (including tweets liked by other people and 'suggestions'.) It does have the feature to show tweets from people you follow in chronological order but you have to keep resetting to that. The curation programme is weird.

@ajsadauskas yes how to translate the post you are writing for other users



@ajsadauskas Also that toot wouldn’t even fit on Twitter, you’d have to make it what they call a “thread” which is like a long toot but bad.

@ajsadauskas

Nice.

@ajsadauskas How would I edit a toot, then? Haven‘t found this function yet.

@ajsadauskas also, being limited to 240 characters without any possible markup options?

that is *soooooooooooooo 2000s*

@ajsadauskas @Fizzychicken Haha! Brilliant!

@ajsadauskas
@rnd
🤣

@ajsadauskas love this. 😻

@ajsadauskas although I understand the spirit of this, there is a bookmark feature on the bird place.

@ajsadauskas Die Nachteile von Twitter schön zusammengefasst

@ajsadauskas interesting way of thinking. 🤔

@ajsadauskas
Thank you. Very useful resource when trying to get more ppl moving. One thing though: You missed (?) the 280 character limit on tweets. This limit may or may not be a blessing but is still a useful argument in some cases.

@ajsadauskas I see what you did there

@ajsadauskas You know, it has the feel of a first generation tool. Like Windows 1.0-ish. Not really ready for prime time and a redesign from ground up is needed. Mastodon? More like Windows 3.11. Lots of fun and features!
#twittermigration

@ajsadauskas

😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

@ajsadauskas this is hilarious and brilliant and also true!

@ajsadauskas - very fun! But a small nitpick: there is a bookmark feature on Twitter, and I use(d) it a lot.

@ajsadauskas I can't believe people still use it tbh.

@ajsadauskas I would like to add:
Server admins can set the length of the toots to another value than the default of 500 characters.

I'm using the bookmark a lot at the moment.

To avoid information "overflow" I'm also using the "Hide boosts from"-Feature.

@ajsadauskas @stephenfry you will like this

@ajsadauskas Can I borrow this (credited)? Might help me convert some more people

@ajsadauskas Twitter surely sounds like a silly place, let's not go there.

@ajsadauskas 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@ajsadauskas

Thanks for sharing, we will see if this
"Twitter" thing will gain any traction.

The basic idea of

"From thought to "tweet" in the fastest possible way"
May have an effect of the quality.

@ajsadauskas Love this.
Reverse-engineering the view of Twitter.
Very clever and just proves how viable Mastodon really is.

@ajsadauskas you missed the Twitter CW 😁

@ajsadauskas as I understand it there is an edit button on Twitter now… for Twitter Blue subscribers. They paywalled it.
