@kevinteljeur @Gargron Musk the manbaby banned the Mastodon Twitter account & banned ALL links to Mastodon. @AndGraceToo @Gargron Oh yes, I saw that! I though that maybe Eugen had been personally banned (which wouldnโt be surprising either at this point) @b0gste @kevinteljeur @Gargron He's not a principled man. He's a self entitled narcissist & pale, puffy manbaby who says things to appease his weird stans but it's just words with no substance. @AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron Do they think not linking to Mastodon will stem the tide of people leaving? How many more will be purged for writing about Mastodon now? @jkb @AndGraceToo @Gargron Itโs just one man, flailing around as he destroys his acquisition and the value of his beloved car company with it. But yeah, big Streisand Effect getting applied here @jkb @AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron It might be effective, the people getting banned are the ones with already a foot outside, itโs more important to prevent the news to reach others than trying to keep them in. @tshirtman @AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron I left a long time ago. I looked back once, found Mastodon but didn't get active, looked at Twitter again, quit social media, and in the last half of this year just went all in on Mastodon. Best thing too because before the first great migration was making great connections. And now I think I have some of the best interactions ever within Mastodon and made me think this is what it should be like. @AndGraceToo @kevinteljeur @Gargron If you follow someone's twitter link to Mastadon it tells you "This site is marked as unsafe"...๐ @Gargron quitting twitter is like quitting smoking, you may well miss killing yourself but in the end you will feel so much better without the daily drip of poison https://www.patreon.com/mastodon @Gargron The petty libertarian musk don't like concurrence it seems. Congrats for this badge of honour ๐๐ป. To Do List: 1.) Leave Twitter, โ๏ธ 2.) Open a Mastodon account, โ๏ธ 3.) Feel way better about life in general, โ๏ธ โ๏ธ โ๏ธ โ๏ธ โ๏ธ THANK YOU @Gargron ๐ @Gargron that was my last trigger to finally delete my Twitter account. @Gargron Elonโs kid was in a car that was blocked and attacked by a nutter thanks to the doxxing of his location by bad actors. Even if itโs โpublic infoโ on some database, to broadcast it regularly on Twitter will only help stalkers. It serves no other purpose. For Mastodon to support this doxxing (inc posting links on Twitter from official mastodon accounts) is not just spiteful, it is sinister and shows an unethical side to the management of this OSS software. @Gargron Q: Are link preview cards in the works for the iOS app? They work on the browser version I knowโฆ @Gargron unfortunately, since that's where a significant chunks of the companies I do business with conduct their "support", now, still have to go to Twitter if I need support. Knowing what I know about Twitter's security, I'm not *real* happy that two of those companies are my banks' initial customer service entry-points. @Gargron I kinda like how the notifs here and the "trending" topics are casually off to the side I don't feel like I'm logging in and am immediately assaulted with links to bad takes or horrible news

@Gargron @Gargron but seriously, mine have never been less exciting. Just opening Twitter gives me anxiety ๐ @Gargron I just left there thru the Twitter portal after 2 weeks of pondering where I would take my talents next. So, โฆ here I am โ a brand new and follower-less hillbilly from NW Arkansas. I had a nice prize to offer the first one to follow me here but I got rolled on the way outta Twitter, so โฆ ๐ซค @Gargron My last tweet on Oct 27 was re-tweet of instructions from that account on how to join Mastodon. Retweets disappear with deleted accounts. People are finding their way anyway. @Gargron Idea: almost all the resistance I hear is โPicking a server is too complicatedโ. We know itโs not, but what about the possibly of an an option โpick a server for meโ?

@Gargron Glad to be providing news over here on Mastodon! Thanks for what you built @Gargron @Gargron which server would best suit me? I am a small business owner that really needs online traffic. Twitter is getting worse by the Tweet. If I can get enough Toots I can leave altogether. |
@Gargron Thats also one way to see things xD
