In a Mediaite article about Twitter’s recent suspensions of journalists, conservative writer Isaac Schorr seems to have read the Twitter account ’@joinmastodon’ as "John Mastodon".

With zero fact-checking and a vivid imagination he then goes as far to write that John Mastodon is ”the founder of a competing social media company named after himself”.

So many wrongs in a single sentence!

I see people linking to Twitter and saying sorry for linking to Twitter.

One way to make Twitter content available without exposing people to big tech tracking is to use a Nitter link instead.

Nitter is a free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy and performance

One quick solution:
Replace twitter.com with nitter.net in your link.

There are also more instances of this free software if you explore further.

@axbom Nitter in that way conveniently replaces Thread Reader App, too.

You may be aware that there is something called the #Fediverse.

But do you know about all the different types of applications that run on the Fediverse?

I made this visual to give myself and others something to point at when explaining "the big picture".

You may be surprised by how many services beyond Mastodon there are to explore.

Download it for free here and use as you please:

That post also has links to all the different applications.

I have version 1.1 of "The many branches of the Fediverse" ready for you. 😄

Thank you to everyone who pitched in with suggestions of improvement (all visible in the thread).

You can download PNG and PDF versions on my blog post, which also has a bit more info and links to the applications.

Download for free and use as you please. Preferably to spread the word about the benefits of federated publishing and local instances. 😊

@axbom Thanks for sharing this. I'll be using it in a blog post later today (with full attribution, of course). It's very useful.

I've noticed a small wave of new people making their way to Mastodon from the birdsite.

Here is my brief Mastodon guide for social media worriers that may prove useful for making yourself more at home.

Nice bit of reporting from Swedish Radio. They built an online fake pharmacy and activated Facebook advertising tools. Thousands of simulated visits to the pharmacy were made each day, and the reporters could see all the sensitive, personal information being stored by Facebook.

Facebook sent no warnings to the pharmacy, despite saying they have tools in place to prevent this from happening.

A few weeks ago they revealed how this was happening with real pharmacies.
