It's actually pretty amazing that a open source product developed by a tiny non-profit, running on a network of servers self-funded by volunteer administrator and moderators has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest for-profit social networks.

It's a miracle the whole thing didn't collapse or catch fire.

Great job everyone.

The German Data Commissioner is advocating that all public bodies should leave Facebook (and presumably Twitter) and use open platforms instead.

Various German bodies and authorities have already created their own Mastodon servers, as have many EU agencies and the Commission.

Irrespective of if twitter does or doesn’t implode and if mastodon is or isn’t the next thjng, I get the feeling that a crack in the armour has been created. This is good.

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

I just want to repeat.

Something magical is happening here on Mastodon.

Mastodon is really having a moment in mainstream news coverage. CNN, BBC, TIME, etc.

The influx of users will continue at an alarming rate. Remember to be welcoming, and kind, and positive, and helpful.

This isn't just an opportunity to improve the idea of social media, it's an opportunity to shine a wonderful light on #opensource.

Ok, there might actually be something in this mastodon malarkey after all. I mean, long way to go, but there’s also something endearing about the “early days” feel of it. And being able to develop it is very interesting.
I’ve played a few times over the years but never clicked. As usual with any social software though, the people are what make it or break it.

Hey, so, we've hit 1,028,362 monthly active users across the network today. 1,124 new Mastodon servers since Oct 27, and 489,003 new users. That's pretty cool.

Read about the young (29) founder of Mastodon, why he created it, and the surprisingly effective way it isolates hate groups.
