@bubblefizzpop @atomicpoet Yes, last I checked #Tumblr will join the #Fediverse, although it will be much later than #Threads (my guess is December of this year for Tumblr, & October for Threads). #PostNews will also join this year too, but I am not sure when.

The biggest surprise this month was #Minds joining the Fediverse, as they were able to fix most of their issues with #ActivityPub.

@natsume_shokogami @gpollara @rm4 😁 There are actually four #ActivityPub powered blog platforms:

👉🏾 #WriteFreely (https://writefreely.org)

👉🏾 #WordPress (with plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/)

👉🏾 #Drupal (with plugin: https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub)

👉🏾 #MicroBlog (https://help.micro.blog/t/mastodon-and-activitypub/95)

#PostNews & #Tumblr will join the #Fediverse later on, bringing the total to five & a half (Post News does not yet support custom domains so I gave it half a point 😄).

While Elon Musk has been known to attack advertisers who leave “X”, Mark Zuckerberg replies to their Threads posts, boosting their ads…

P.S. #PostNews displayed awkwardly link to #bluesky)

I wrote a long piece on #ElonMusk’s chaotic decision-making in rebranding #Twitter to #X this week, and published it on #Medium, #PostNews, and #Note (Japanese version).

Smart move by #ElonMusk as he is desperate to keep influential people on #Twitter / #X & away from future #Fediverse rivals (which includes #Threads & to a smaller extent, #Tumblr & #PostNews).

I actually would not be surprised if #Meta copied this by allowing creators on #Instagram, Threads & #Facebook to do the same in the future.

#Threads does not support #ALT text for blind and visually-impaired users.

#PostNews does not support #ALT either.

I'm tired of checking out new #SocialMedia platforms. When are we getting back to punching fascists?

@therobburgessshow I keep it at Mastodon because Mastodon is good for why I joined Twitter in the first place: following the tech crowds.

#CounterSocial: seems a lot emptier than Mastodon and their Desktop UI look like several mobile feeds side by side. It's hard to look at.

#Tribel: I don't hear enough about them.

#Spoutible: I like the guy behind it Chris Bouzy. When I went on, it was empty but, I have heard before there is too much gatekeeping and it is like a hivemind in the same vein as Truth Social.

#PostNews: I don't hear a lot about that one but, I heard it had become primarily a news aggregator ran by bots. I just heard that and never tried to get on it.

#Blackplanet: It definitely isn't what it used to be and, there is limited engagement on posts.

All in all, I appreciate how many social media sites were built in response to Elon's takeover of #birdsite but, there can only be but so many to have engagement.

Mavi Defter için #Twitter tartışmaları ve #Mastodon, #BlueSky, #Postnews, #SubstackNotes ve #Threads gibi alternatifler üzerine kısa bir yazı yazdım. Yazıda neden sol hareketlerin aktif olarak Mastodon'u desteklemeleri gerektiğini düşündüğüme de kısaca değindim.

Anyone else try #BlueSky #PostNews #T2? Thoughts on each compared to #Twitter and #Mastodon?

@muellershewrote@bird.makeup This makes me sad. I love AG's take on the news and the way she keeps us updated, but I'm NOT going to create an account on Post any more than I was going to go back to T**tter.

I guess I'll just keep listening to the DailyBeans podcast until such time as we get an ActivityPub feed or AG starts posting on Mastodon or Calckey or...

Anyone here on the #Fediverse / #Mastodon trying out #BlueSky, #PostNews and the other new platforms too? Thoughts?

How are sites handling breaking news in #Russia?

#Twitter: Low signal/noise (SNR) ratio
#Mastodon: High SNR, no text search (must use hashtags)
#BlueSky: No hashtags, poor search, difficult to assess SNR
#Post #PostNews: Good topic (hashtag) search, high SNR, no #ALTtag

Post, a publisher-focused Twitter alternative, launches on iOS

Remember Post.news? Their iOS app is really an iPhone app. Hopefully there will be an iPad version at some point.

Looks like #postnews is gone

So Elon Musk/Twitter is stealing-from/inspired-by the same feature that's on Post.news for awhile now

No way on #bluesky or #postnews. The 2nd I've tried for about a week. In the end, it would not let me delete my account easily. I think it was primarily designed as an alternative 4 journalists but it's a cocoon.

#socialmedia

With #Spoutible already ditched and #Postnews not really taking off for me, I made it to #Bluesky. Feel free to hit me up! (Disclaimer: I see my social media focus on the #Fediverse for years to come, and still enjoy #Substack Notes.)

Went to #PostNews for the first time in a couple of months. Their site design has improved immensely. However, while Mastodonians are hungry for more news organizations and journalists, Post is starving for them.

Are any of my Mastodon followers also on Post? If so, follow me and I'll follow you back, just like on here: https://post.news/@/robaburg
