Re: Mastodon Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani I just stumbled upon this and had no idea that Mastodon was even a thing 6 years ago, pty! I first became aware of them back when Elon bought Twitter (ahem, X) and everyone fled ship trying to find an alternative. Sorry no one replied to this thread until now. Guess you were just too ahead of your time. ;) Re: Thoughts about current Social Media and SEO landscape. Ruins everything.

For those … Mastodon vs. Twitter Digital Media by Dani I'm not understanding the recent obsession with companies switching their social presence from Twitter to Mastodon. Whatever you think of Elon Musk, how does that affect someone's day to day use of Twitter? Mastodon looks to me, at least at the surface, as just a Twitter clone. What am I missing?

Digital Media Digital Marketing by Dani What stories are you referring to? I don't think a truly decentralized Internet is here yet (although we do have things like Mastodon that run on independent servers). For now, I am not able to make any specific SEO-related suggestions other than to say that SEO is constantly evolving to keep up with the web. Re: Mastodon vs. Twitter Digital Media by rproffitt The headline I seeing is "Racist, antisemitic tweets quickly spread after Musk Twitter takeover". Also, the debacle of the verified accounts damaged some companies.

I get sensationalized headlines. What I don't get is why people change their daily lives based on sensationalized headlines. The twitter I use today feels exactly the same to me as the twitter I used 6 months ago. I choose the people … Re: Mastodon vs. Twitter Digital Media by rproffitt The headlines are not only sensational but true. Besides the damage done to Eli Lilly and other companies recently think about car makers. Why would they advertise on Twitter now? "(Insert company name here) announced it will pause advertising on social media platforms to protest content containing hate speech." There's free … Re: Mastodon vs. Twitter Digital Media by Dani I have no clue who Eli Lilly is nor have I heard any news about car manufacturers on Twitter. I use Twitter daily to catch up on SEO news and post to my 3000 followers, most who are past or present DaniWeb visitors. My profile, feed, and the UI have remained much the same for me, with no hate speech or anything I would consider unsavory … Re: Mastodon vs. Twitter Digital Media by rproffitt The reason I know Eli Lilly and other companies is that we hold stock in ETFs that contain these companies. So I keep up with the news company actions. As to hate speech it may not be on your feed but it is there. I leave it to groups like https://www.adl.org to report on it as I have better things to do and don't want such in my mail. https… Re: Mastodon vs. Twitter Digital Media by Dani No, I get there are news articles about Twitter hate speech. What I don’t get is why soooo many people jump ship and are so quick to boycott when the only way they would know is by reading said news articles. I guess it all comes down to the quote … the road to the holocaust was paved with indifference. Perhaps everyone is more ethical than I am, … Re: Mastodon vs. Twitter Digital Media by Dani Replace ethical with empathetic, I think. I think what it comes down to is my distrust of news sites to accurately report what is happening, especially if I can’t see it for myself. I’m not one to boycott other businesses because of third-party hearsay. I’m also such a proponent of freedom of speech that it’s going to be hard to convince me to … Re: Mastodon vs. Twitter Digital Media by pritaeas > What I don’t get is why soooo many people jump ship and are so quick to boycott when the only way they would know is by reading said news articles.
