Been saying my goodbyes on #Twitter. Gearing up to delete my account after a decade on there. Any #advice on backing up data? Main problem I'm having is with #retweets - they seem to be prematurely cut-off.

#XTwitter should rename #Retweets into Reex 😈 💩

Me ha matao eso de republicado.
Me quedé así 😳

#Threads currently depends wholly on:

1. The massive amount of #celebrities and #verified accounts that got first dibs to create the illusion of content.
2. #Instagram users making the leap.

There's not much to the app beyond that, but I will applaud them on a flawless execution of the basics of #Twitter (#retweets #QuoteTweets and the feed itself).

#CaseyNewton: Why #journalists can't #quit #birdsite. The #media should be building #alternatives. Instead, some are #doublingdown..among the 900 or so #tech and #media professionals I follows usage is basically steady. The #timeline may scroll a little more slowly than it used to, but everyone is still showing up for their daily dose of sparring for #retweets. And I think it’s worth taking a moment to reflect on why. https://www.platformer.news/p/why-journalists-cant-quit-twitter

Another great feature in apps like #Megalodon and #Fedilabs is the ability to hide replies in timelines.

This promotes the feature of #threads. Because you only see the original top post and no posts out of context. So if you see a post and you are interested in the content and replies, you can click on it and go down the tree of comments. This is way better on #Mastodon than #Twitter.

I really like the idea of threads here on Mastodon. It allows for an idea based conversation, where every post is a single topic but is tied together to a larger conversation by the top post.

Similar to these 4 posts I've made now.

#timelines #boost #boosts #favorite #favorites #Mastodon #Twitter #retweets #Likes #Algorithm #Tweets #fediverse #instances #favourites

@maxleibman

The problem, however, with these #timelines that aren't governed by some algorithm, is that you can easily see the same post over and over.

I follow a few accounts that are interconnected with each other. We all interact with the same content. So when they all #boost a post, I see the original and 5 #boosts.

This is, however, fixed with clients, allowing me to hide boosts from my timelines. Which isn't the best solution. We should rather be allowed to hide boosts of accounts we already follow because I've already seen that post or eventually will in my timeline.

@maxleibman

I've actually thought about it a lot. I want to see the posts that people that I follow #favorite. I want to see what they are up to and doing.

But if we allow this, it goes against the principle that #boosts are for you and #favorites for the original poster.

If the people that I follow want me to see something, they would reply to a post or boost it.

With #Mastodon not sorting our timelines by favorite count and number of boosts, I actually see all of the posts of people I follow and content doesn't get lost, and I love it.

#Twitter, on the other hand, has a problem with #retweets and #likes. People don't use them correctly and often use both.

This paired with the #algorithm leads to a few #tweets being spammed across the entire site and other posts getting lost in the ocean of tweets.

My experience on Twitter over 10 years had far less interaction than my 3 months on #Mastodon.

On Twitter, my posts just disolved into nothing, where I now get many #favorites and #boosts on all my posts.

I also get replies and interaction here because people actually see my content and aren't obsessed with one or two celebrity accounts.

#Mastodon #boosts #fediverse #instances #favourites #favorites

@olliepalmer @mimsical @heycaseywattsup

The other thing is the disappearance of the obsession with #retweets and #likes.

Yes, I get a kick out of it when I get a #boost or a #favorite. But while browsing #Mastodon in apps like #megalodon, the number of boots and favorites for a post isn't shown until I click on it.

So, my decision to interact with something is my own. I don't feel, "Oh wow, 10000 boosts, this is relevant."

2/ Ihr werden mich aber weiter lesen können:
Auf #Mastodon werde ich mit @eule_anja nämlich ganz gewiss nicht leiser werden!
#Twitter werde ich auf #Retweets nur noch weniger Accounts beschränken, mein eigener Content wird dann auf Mastodon verlegt & Crossposting abgeschaltet.

I love Dr. Mike. And he is right about the toxicity of #TikTok and #Twitter. Things only go "viral" if they are toxic and directly attacking another person. This is why I like that "#retweets" don't exist here. I don't miss them at all.

So #BirdSite shared the error message of "Sorry! You have exceeded your Tweet limit. Try Retweet again tomorrow"

Say what now? Based on my profile, I only shared 3 #retweets today. I'll have to ration them better. Sorry everyone, only WSDL members get my retweets now. 😆

Then I found I could not #Tweet at all. DMs no longer load. I can't follow anyone.

The #TwitterTakeover is going so well. #TwitterDown #Twitter

#Mastodon #Fediverse for the win! Thanks for welcoming me here!

Ich kann schon verstehen, dass Leute ihre Initialposts hier & auf #Twitter crossposten und das stört mich überhaupt nicht, ganz im Gegenteil.

Aber #Retweets / #Quotetweets spiegeln? Das erschließt sich mir überhaupt nicht. Dafür wäre ich doch bei Twitter 🤷🏼‍♂️

I stopped cross-posting RTs from #Twitter because I thought some people might find them annoying. Now I’m firmly in the cross-posted-RTs-are-annoying camp. 😬 #crossPosting #retweets #noxp

When looking at a specific user’s #timeline, it would be really useful to be able to see a user’s own posts separate from their #boosts. Or does this already exist? Both the apps I have only show a single timeline for a user. Given the way #Mastodon relies more on boosts than That Site does on #retweets many users do a lot of boosting, to the extent that their own #posts can get a bit lost.

Mir gehen diese ganzen #Twittercrossposts echt auf die nerven.
Wenn ihr euch nicht ganz lösen könnt crossposted von #mastodon zu #twitter nicht umgekehrt.
Sonst zerstört ihr die #Timelines hier mit #retweets , wertet Mastodon ab und unterstützt #Musk.
Und wundert euch dann wenn hier keine interaktion stattfindet und keiner die toots liked oder boostet. Ich filter jetzt alle
RT @twitter.com . Und es ist echt schade um einige Leute die ich gerne lese.

OK, jetzt löscht #Twitter nach #Followerinnen und #Followern nun auch #Likes und #Retweets. Wir sind eine echte #Gefahr für Twitter.

@TheDoorOKC

3 #Retweets in 5 minutes? Nah.
