NPR quits Twitter after being falsely labeled as 'state-affiliated media' : NPR

"At this point I have lost my faith in the decision-making at Twitter," he says. "I would need some time to understand whether Twitter can be trusted again." #HEARHEAR #LeaveTwitterDay

I recently went over there for a few hours to support #IdesOfMusk #LeaveTwitterDay and one of the comments I saw was somebody not wanting to join Mastodon, because they thought it's full of pedophiles.

Seems to be a common trope with the right-wing, to accuse any group of people that they don't like of pedophilia.

This #sunday, I signed up to test the @ivory #macOS #Mastodon Desktop client (Ivory for Mac) through #Apple's #TestFlight.

I'm enjoying the experience. It’s like the experience I have on #iOS and #iPadOS, but has support for windowing, keyboard sequences, and more.

It is quite polished! Kudos to @tapbots! I look forward to its release!

Is the consensus that the recent rise in users is due to the efforts on #IdesofMusk #LeaveTwitterDay or is that a coincidence and there is something else going on? #TwitterMigration https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount/110050778070430284

@juergen_hubert 15th was also #LeaveTwitterDay or whatever the tag, that suggested here as well.

Stragglers or after effects combined with whatever possibly going on there, and the 2FA stuff mentioned by whoever above, all sorts possible.

@osc maybe it can be linked to #leavetwitterday that was happening on March 15?

There have been a few initiatives recently to do some campaigning about #Mastodon and the #TwitterMigration. March 9 was nominated for #JoinMastodonDay, and the #IdesOfMarch as #LeaveTwitterDay —and while these have generated some noise on Twitter and probably helped revamp interest on the #Fediverse, I have my doubts about the effectiveness of the latter initiative especially.

I see they've been calling #LeaveTwitterDay the #IdesofMusk on the hellsite. LoL.

@tchambers @alexwild @spreadmastodon @noellemitchell @elduvelle Yep. I did a #LeaveTwitterDay post over there yesterday. I really cannot fathom how a lot of the folks I have followed over there have not left yet. What is it going to take?

Our analysis on the #LeaveTwitterday organic push Like #JoinMastodonDay we see the same positive dynamic.
An organized push has a dramatically bigger effect than just the original organizers. In this case:

82 Twitter accounts pushed this
226 separate posts were created
This reached an audience of 400,000 impressions or social views.

Again: proof of concept is SUCCESSFUL in my book. Now imagine if it were 1,000 organizers, or 10,0000?

Tomorrow I'll run the scans on the total social reach of #LeaveTwitterDay the same way I did last time.

@mastodonusercount Wonder if some of quick spikes today were due to #LeaveTwitterDay grassroots effort?

I didn't even realize it was #LeaveTwitterDay until after I posted this, but I guess that was good timing...

This one I like very much as a guideline on social media, just wanted to share it with you for the night. For instance, you can choose to leave a network when the owner doesn't respect certain values that matter to you.
Good night everyone 😴✨

#LeaveTwitterDay

I did not expect to accrue a lot of new friends today. But it's pretty great.

Smart people use #Mastodon. #LeaveTwitterDay

I'm surprised that #LeaveTwitterDay isn't #trending on #Mastodon 😅 I guess not many people are posting about it?

When Ontario elected a premier I am morally opposed to, I didn’t uproot my life and move elsewhere.

Online platforms are far easier to move around in, but socially & professionally, they still function similar to a geographic location.

This is how I’m currently thinking about Twitter.

Just realized yesterday was the one year anniversary of me deactivating my account on #Twitter! Seems fitting to mention it on #LeaveTwitterDay. I don't miss being on Twitter at all. 😆 Mastodon is a much more pleasant experience.
