“The internet’s town square should never have been one specific website with its own specific rules and incentives. It should have been, and should be, the web itself. […] The web is wide open again, for the first time in what feels like forever.” inessential.com/2022/11/13/after_twitter

A lot of us are really enjoying the chronological, algo-free timeline on #Mastodon and are engaging in calm, downbeat, humane conversations over there. “It feels like early Twitter.” I already said this a week ago: this time, it’s different and we’ve reached critical mass. 🚀

As a result of being permanently suspended – although he didn’t break the Twitter rules and still doesn’t know why he was banned – mmatuzo can't access his photos, bookmarks, DMs, and connected logins anymore. This is gross, TwitterSupport. But nobody cares anymore, right? m_ott/1584648614282133504

Why did Musk buy Twitter? What is he trying to do? And what does this have to do with Jack, technocracy, crypto, and “longtermism”? A compelling but equally disturbing piece by davetroy: davetroy.medium.com/no-elon-and-jack-are-not-competitors-theyre-collaborating-3e88cde5267d

I turned off cross-posting from and to Twitter now. It just doesn’t work for me. It feels weird to see RTs here and Mastodon handles on Twitter. Mastodon is not a cheap copy of the hellsite, but a platform of its own with a healthy, respectful community. 💚 I will, (1/2)

I don’t like it here anymore at the moment. Not because of all of you (💚) but because it makes me sick to see the new emperor in all his egotism and lack of decency and respect joking around while destroying careers and basically killing the whole sanity of this platform.

Knock knock, TwitterSupport! Our friend Manuel still doesn’t know why he has been suspended – he did never break any of the Twitter rules. Could you please look into this again? Thank you! 🙏 m_ott/1584648614282133504

Twitter just laid off the lead dev on fighting climate change denial. Guess the $1.9 billion Elon got from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal for the takeover already paid off… 😒

SAFe is snake oil? No way! 😁 “So far all the SAFe case studies […] show that SAFe does not make the organisation more agile, it worsened the shortcomings that are typical of the pre-Agile approaches, and overall makes things worse.” safedelusion.com

To everyone who is playing with the thought of leaving Twitter and is open to trying alternatives: Mastodon feels a lot more mature than it did a few years ago and way people are over there than last time. So feel free to join us. 💚 mastodon.social/@matthiasott #noxp

Hey TwitterSupport! Now that “the bird is free”, could you please also free mmatuzo? He’s not a spammer nor a troll. He is a much-needed voice of change in the Web community who creates important work – and you deplatformed him for no reason! That’s just not cool. 😒 m_ott/1584648614282133504

Mastodon feels so much more mature than in 2016 or 2018. And it is still around. Will be interesting to see whether it can be a real alternative, especially for those people who are looking for a less noisy, more civilized place.
