Cosmic Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I love decentralized platforms like this. A lot of people are migrating away from Twitter in favor of Mastodon. I am not quite sure how to make use of it yet but I did sign up. I may just make my own platform that people can follow if they want, or join. It sounds like a lot of fun to set up. I still hope Twitter gets sorted but I am not going to hold my breath and apparently, other people are not either. Are you signed up on Mastodon?

Not sure, (had a quick look) but 70,000 Twits going from that platform to Masterdon after Musk bought it, doesn't fill me with hope that it is a free speech platform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same thing but the way it runs is different from everything else. Like if you sign up on one instance and get banned from it, you still have your account and posts and can migrate to another one. It is basically set up like Reddit but in Twitter form. Minus all the ego heavy authoritarians and pedo sympathizers that run things behind closed doors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowDragon Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 A lot of lefties left Twitter in favor of Mastodon. I tried it a few years back, it is not really for me. I prefer one space. Even if that means people arguing like children. We can't let people create more hiveminds online. It just makes things worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been seeing more and more people saying they were going here who are very much in favor of the establishment boot. I know the establishment don't want this. They want everyone in a few places so they can easily control the narrative. Some people are saying the reason the machine was mad when Elon bought Twitter was because of all the fed bots with blue checkmarks. They are going to have to pay to keep those checkmarks now.

There is no reason for them to go on Rumble so people are essentially taking themselves out of the public square doing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
