Probleme mit dem dortigen Bot: wie sprichst Du von Elon Musk?

#Twitterübernahme #TwitterTakeover #Elon #MastodonMigration #SocialMedia #heise #Mastodon #Fediverse #Twitter

Hier den Effekt der automatischen Boosts nochmal in der Summe der Zugriffe über die verschiedenen Accounts. Man sieht deutlich, wie es bei @heisec und @ct_Magazin danach merklich hochgeht. @heiseonline ist halt doch um einiges zugkräftiger.

Vielleicht fällt uns ja noch was anderes ein, wie wir die anderen Accounts sichtbarer machen können. Da nehm’ ich auch gerne Tipps entgegen. Erst einmal lassen wir das so.

Werd mir das noch einmal genauer ansehen, aber vielleicht klappt die Wachablösung ja bis zum Jahrestag der #Twitterübernahme 😅

Hier sieht man noch, welch positiven Effekt es für @ct_Magazin hatte, dass die Artikel wieder automatisch geboostet werden. Das war also der richtige Schritt. (Der parallele Twittereinbruch geht wohl auf Probleme mit dem dortigen Bot zurück.)

Darauf habe ich lange gewartet 😉 :
Auf die Artikel von heise online der vergangenen Woche kamen jeden Tag mehr Zugriffe über #Mastodon als über #X bzw. #Twitter!

Da sind ein paar Effekte drin (das nochmalige Teilen am Wochenende bringt erneut Zugriffe, am Freitag ging der Twitter-Bot nicht), aber die Tendenz ist deutlich: Während Mastodon/ das #Fediverse stabil bleiben, geht es bei X abwärts.

After https://social.bund.de/about for German government agencies, https://social.network.europa.eu/about for European ones and https://social.overheid.nl/about from the Dutch government, now the government from #Switzerland has also created its own #instance on #Mastodon:
https://social.admin.ch/about

It's still empty, but the #MastodonMigration is continuing – slowly but steady. And #europe is still leading in some parts.

Germany once again leading the #MastodonMigration: The parliament of the federal state of #RheinlandPfalz stops posting to #X/#Twitter and will use #Mastodon instead.

It speaks of problematic developments under #ElonMusk and says, that for example #Nazi content is now barely moderated over there. And also that the significance of Twitter shrinks.

Here it is: @ltrlp

#ElonMusk's #X follower count bloated by millions of new, inactive accounts

"Of the 153,209,283 X accounts following Musk at the time the data was collected, around 42 percent of Musk's #followers, or more than 65.3 million users, have zero followers on their own account. Just over 72 percent, or nearly 112 million, or nearly 112 million, of these users following Musk have less than 10 followers on their account." 🤡

#ABC exiting #Twitter: Australia’s national broadcaster shuts down almost all accounts on #ElonMusk’s #X/Twitter

The #PublicBroadcaster says interactions on the platform are ‘toxic’ as it closes almost all its Twitter accounts

"The ABC is shutting down almost all of its official accounts on Twitter – now known as X under Elon Musk’s ownership – citing “toxic interactions”, cost and better interaction with ABC content on other #SocialMedia platforms."

#ElonMusk’s #X can’t send Blue subscribers their ad revenue-sharing payouts on time

Friday night is a good time to announce you’re not paying your bills.

"That’s not exactly what you’d want to hear from a program touting itself as “part of our effort to help people earn a living directly on X,” and the key to Elon Musk’s X dream for an app that handles #banking, stock trading, and other vital financial features."

#Threads #UserCount falls to new lows, highlighting retention challenges

"Threads’ #DailyActiveUser count is down 82% from launch as of July 31, according to Sensor Tower, with just eight million users accessing the app each day.
[...]
Threads’ user count peaked at roughly 49 million on July 7, the day after launch, and fell steadily to just over 11 million by July 29, said David Carr from Similarweb."

Still more than #Mastodon 😉

The #TwitterTakeover as seen by an historian and compared to the "Fall of Rome". With every sentence I liked this more and more. Very cool analogy!

Twitter Blue subscribers can now hide their blue checks | #TheVerge

#TwitterBlue, which #ElonMusk is currently rebranding to €X Blue, now includes the option to hide the notorious #BlueCheckmark. Twitter Blue subscribers recently started noticing the “hide your blue checkmark” option on the web and in mobile apps, offering the ability to hide that they’re paying for #Twitter and avoid memes about how “this mf paid for twitter.”

"The escalation of shock value tactics, on both the #right and the pretending-not-to-be-right political classes, are likely rooted in the same cause: The slow motion collapse of Twitter, now rebranded "#X," under the leadership of Tesla CEO #ElonMusk."

#Mastodon is easy and fun except when it isn’t
by @kissane

"But if Mastodon and other fedi projects do take on the mass scale, their developers must consider the needs of people who aren’t already converts. That starts by asking a lot of questions and then listening closely and receptively to the answers you receive."

#Twitter’s turn to #X marks the spot for EU trademark trouble – #POLITICO

#ElonMusk’s attempt to rebrand the #SocialMedia giant could run afoul of intellectual property rights.

"Failing to secure the right to use X risks legal action that could see Musk ordered not to use the name or symbol in certain circumstances, or at all, or even to face damages claims for infringing on another company's established #trademark."

#ElonMusk’s #Twitter Rebrand as ‘X’ Gets Site Blocked Under #Indonesia #Porn Laws

The domain X.com had previously been used by sites running afoul of the country’s rules on “negative” content.

"Indonesia’s reported 24 million Twitter users were unable to access the platform. [...] “The name is not too far from XXX, I guess.”"

#ElonMusk and company take @x handle from its original user. He got zero dollars for it.

"So, Musk now has the @x handle. What happened? Did Musk reach out to Hwang? Did Hwang cash in and get a paycheck from the company for the handle as some on social media have speculated?

No, the company just took it from him."

Der Traffic von #Twitter auf heise.de scheint sich übrigens seit Wochenbeginn schon wieder erholt zu haben. Mal sehen, ob das nur in Deutschland so ist, oder auch da, wo #Threads bereits verfügbar ist und Nutzer*innen wechseln.

Einmal mehr zeigt sich Twitter angesichts neuer Konkurrenz aber offenbar ziemlich hartnäckig.

#TwitterTakeover #ElonMusk #SocialMedia #Meta #MetaPlatforms

Hier meine ich, die ersten Auswirkungen von #Threads zu sehen: Das sind einfach die Zugriffe aus #Twitter (grün) und über die Posts von @heiseonline@heise.de (blau) auf heise.de nach Tagen/Stunden. Twitter lief #Mastodon da immer etwas voraus, aber seit Donnerstagnachmittag nicht mehr.

#TwitterIsDead?

Mal sehen, wie es nach dem Wochenende weitergeht.
