Diaspora is Easy to use but it Takes Time

Looking for a place to make a #blog that doesn't require payment or ads, and getting away from #Facebook, I found out about the #Fediverse. What a busy place! What a lot of platforms to choose from! It was all very confusing and you can't really tell any difference between some of the platforms. At least you can distinguish between #microblogging and #macroblogging, which I didn't know about before. I had no idea if I was supposed to choose only one or not, either.

I was about to either give up or just pick one at random when I found one article online that describes #Diaspora as the easiest for new people to learn and use, with a simple interface and not so loaded down with special features and shiny gadgets that most people probably don't even use. So I chose a Diaspora pod from a map and so far,

I love it!

It is easy to use and I've already made some friends even though I'm pretty #newhere. The user interface is nice and simple. This looks like a good place to make my first blog. I just wanted to say #thanks to all the people who make Diaspora and thanks to the people who run pods and make it possible for the rest of us.

Why isn't #Twitter (X) dead yet? #ElonMusk has done everything he can to bury the #platform, hasn't he?

In my opinion, it's the journalists who are treated like dirt (đŸ’©) by #Musk but just can't let go of the platform.

That's partly because they prefer to make headlines with #clickbait and scandals and still link diligently on Twitter. In this way, they give the platform relevance in the media and make Musk's rants seem like important discourse. On the other hand, it is because the average journalist is apparently too incompetent to discover new platforms for himself.

I'm probably doing an injustice to the little journalist who is just trying to make ends meet somehow. But it's amazing that the big publishers are so inflexible or have made themselves so dependent on Twitter that they can't or won't switch.

#Instagram Is Preparing A #Twitter -Like #App To Be Launched This Summer

Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2023/05/19/instagram-is-preparing-a-twitter-like-app-to-be-launched-this-summer-report-says/

The app may eventually be compatible with others attempting to appeal to former Twitter users—including #Mastodon — according to Haberman’s screenshot, which says users on Mastodon will “soon” be able to follow and interact with posts on #Meta’s new platform without needing to create a new account.

What #Mastodon #server could I #choose?

It's a real #problem you don't know much about the #administration of the servers. A Mastodon server could be a "Trojan Horse" to get your data. Now that they are leaving #Twitter many new servers appear and many admins will close their server next year again because it's too expensive or too much #work.

So here are some points you can check:

  • Don't go to #fosstodon because I am there. Choose fosstodon only if most of the ther points of this list fitt your needs.
  • The donain of the server shouldn't include "Mastodon" because most of the new users search their server via #Google. If they all choose servers with "Mastodon" inside of the #domain it's against #decentralization and the servers are soon overcrowded with much work for the administration.
  • Check the server #information and #background. It's better to choose a server operated by a #community and not a single person. The server should have been only before the #hyoe because not many of the new servers will survive one year.
  • Check the domain. It should be #cool and fitting to the spirit of your posts.
  • Check the servers blocked on your server. Don't choose a server where nothing is blocked because then you know there is no #moderation on your server. If right wing servers are not blocked you are maybe choosing a server of a right echo chamber. If your server is blocked on many others there is something wrong with the administration.
  • At the end its the best to open your own server and be your own #admin. But don't forget that Mastodon isn't running properly on a raspberry pi. The server needs money and time for updates and moderation. So think of donating to your server if possible.
  • Learn about the #Fediverse. You are here on #Diaspora and now you think about going to Mastodon because Elon #Musk is killing Twitter. But why should you go to Mastodon only because the #press #filterbubble is talking about it? Maybe you can be wiser than all the lemmings out there and learn something first with a search engine of your #trust. With #Friendica you can post to the Fediverse and read it on Diaspora and Mastodon.
  • At the end it would be nice if you can follow me on Mastodon: https://fosstodon.org/@anonymiss - @anonymiss@fosstodon.org :)

Please let me know what you think in the comments and thank you for reading :)

Das Versagen des #Journalismus am Beispiel von #Twitter und #Mastodon

Die #Presse bangt um ihr Lieblingsspielzeug #Twitter. Statt aufwendig zu recherchieren bekommen Journalistinnen bei Twitter jeden Pups der Promis frei Haus geliefert. Das wollen sie sich nicht von #ElonMusk kaputt machen lassen. Deswegen ist der Tenor RedaktionsĂŒbergreifend #Musk ist böse und unfĂ€hig. Einige erwĂ€hnen dann och in einem Nebensatz, dass es alternativen wie #Mastodon gibt.

Die #Tagesschau schreibt in einem Absatz:

Bis dahin dĂŒrften die Warnungen an Elon Musk noch deutlicher, der Druck auf die EU-Kommission grĂ¶ĂŸer und die Diskussionen darĂŒber lauter werden, ob die EU-Institutionen weiter auf Twitter unterwegs sein wollen, wie bisher - oder ob sie auf eine andere Plattform umziehen. Zum Beispiel auf Mastodon.

Quelle hier: https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/europa/twitter-musk-eu-101.html

Erstens ist die #EU schon auf Mastodon aktiv, zweitens was ist den auf Mastodon besser wenn es um Moderation geht, dessen VernachlÀssigung Musk vorgeworfen wird?

Es wird der Tag kommen, wo ein Hass-Toot (Toot ist das Mastodon-Equivalent zu einen Tweet) viral geht und der zustĂ€ndige Admin des Mastodon-Servers im Urlaub ist und ihn nicht zeitnah löschen kann. Dann werden die selben Journalisten die jetzt Twitter und Musk auseinandernehmen anfangen auf Mastodon rumzuhacken. Am Ende wird man dann wahrscheinlich eine HintertĂŒr in jedem Mastodon-Server fordern, damit die EU dort zensieren kann ,,,

EU verstÀrkt Druck auf Twitter: "Der Vogel fliegt nach unseren Regeln"

Schon kurz nach seiner Twitter-Übernahme hatte die EU Elon Musk gewarnt: FĂŒr große digitale Plattformen gebe es in Europa Regeln. Mit zunehmendem Chaos bei Twitter werden die EU-Warnungen deutlicher. Von Alexander Göbel.

Twitter is losing over $4M per day đŸ˜±đŸ’žđŸ’°đŸ€‘

Source: https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1588671155766194176

After #Elon was freeing the bird 🐩 he is now frying the bird 🍗

Hope it will be $8M per day now that the most important advertisers have left. Does anyone know how high the advertising #budget of KKK is?
