@jodsclass @tchambers mastodon is great for a filtered, gentle approach but you dont get the immediacy of twitter, not that I can see. But everytime I pop across to check things on the bird, I regret it.

@GregoryMandry @tchambers I agree with that, but for me, engagement dropped off a cliff. If I ask a question or post a tweet, I just get followed by a lot of false accounts soliciting for sex with sexy avatars. It's hopeless. Today I asked on mastodon for coffee machine recommendation & have been flooded with actual people recommending. Far better.

@jodsclass @tchambers I don't tend to toot/tweet, I really just read and respond occasionally, so finding people to follow is crucial and that is tricky here, but I'm getting there slowly.

@GregoryMandry @tchambers Stick with it. Toot about your interests & things you like & a community will make itself known to you. Well worth investing time. So much so, I use IFTTT pro now & exclusively post on here, but allow IFTTT to repost my posts to twitter with a link back to them on Mastodon, hoping to bring people over to at least give it a try.

@jodsclass @tchambers They also seem to have stuffed the FYP with ads to make the supposedly ad-free Blue more appealing. Plus there's a big "get verified" CTA.

@tchambers Incredible work. We're seeing the early days of a wholesale transformation of online discourse. Very exciting.

@tchambers Great overview!

@oxpal Thanks for that kind review! And the font we used was this one:

@oxpal @tchambers I miss some of the folks and news orgs I followed on Twitter - but honestly I don’t have enough time to keep up with the posts/boosts on my timeline here and the quality is at least as good and the variety is actually better.

@amart @tchambers I find that Twitter's more selective algorithm helps to find random gems in the noise. Even from accounts I don't follow. Here currently I get only random posts - especially on the global feed. The downsides to their algo and moderation are pushing me away though.

@oxpal @tchambers I recommend following @donmelton - he’s like a human algorithm here boosting a wide variety of voices, viewpoints, topics, and ideas. Definitely center-left but with reasonable practicality which for me works out just great. I’ve found loads of new and interesting folks to follow from his boosts. Honestly I think Don is an algorithm vs a person since he rarely posts himself and always favorites any posts I make that tag him. 👍👍

@tchambers @spreadmastodon @fediversereport @fediversenews tweeter really has fear about mastodon :) I tried to create multipost app and they blocked it :)

@tchambers @spreadmastodon @fediversereport @fediversenews Compared to lame choices, some not even released yet. It will be interesting to see a similar chart 6 months after BlueSky and project92 are released.
Tim Chambers
@beforewisdom @spreadmastodon @fediversereport @fediversenews Yes. BlueSky now that they are getting federation working, are planning to ramp up their onboarding of their 1.9 million user waiting list. And who knows what happens with #Project92?

@tchambers excellent, in depth, unbiased analysis. Obviously, a lot of effort went into this. I am even more encouraged after reading it on the future of the #Fediverse! Very well done!

@tchambers @spreadmastodon @fediversereport @fediversenews Any ideas as to why there would be 10k fewer of them from March to May?

@alessandro @spreadmastodon @fediversereport @fediversenews This only tracks *active Twitter users* who have added alternative accounts to their bios. I think some of the changes in different social accounts in bios is do to those users going inactive.

@brandonlivesin @alessandro @spreadmastodon @fediversereport @fediversenews Active equals posting or socially engaging in any way on the Twitter platform in the days we studied.

@tchambers @spreadmastodon @fediversereport @fediversenews "Tapbot released Ivory, an iOS version of the Mastodon app. In addition to updating their iOS app and releasing a new Mac OS[sic]" I'm sure they're talented but perhaps not *that* talented. (Typos on p. 19)

@tchambers This report is brilliant. Really enjoying learning about the migration. I just logged into Twitter to check DMs, and it was an absolute fire-hose of brand content & celebrities self-promoting. The first tweet from a "normal" user was about 80 tweets down my timeline. Most of the real people I've followed seem to have left or are lurking.
