Mastodon, Bluesky oder doch X: wer beerbt Twitter? | c’t uplink
Seit Elon Musk Twitter gekauft und auf links (Rechts?) gedreht hat, ist vieles in Bewegung. Über Vor- und Nachteile der Alternativen sprechen wir in c’t uplink.
I went to the community health center because I felt sick. You can receive medical examinations and treatments for free if you are registered with the Social Security Agency on Health; if not, medical examinations and all forms of medicine can be obtained for a single US dollar. Of course, you have to visit the hospital for more complicated illnesses.
@cbw My #Pebble story is an inverted version of this. A friend on mastodon kindly shared a #t2 invitation in the (relatively) early days. I loved the vibe, but I’ve been on mastodon for a long time & have been quite happy here — so I never spent much time on t2/pebble, and barely interacted at all.
But fast forward! The Pebble -> Mastodon migration is happening, and the community is bringing those marvelous vibes over to mastodon — a good match, I think.
Thinking about writing a post with Sarah, Mike, and Dan (the Pebble/T2 team)
"The Trust and Safety Starter Pack." - What's the checklist of T&S features you should build as a new consumer startup to make sure your product doesn't become a cesspool?
@gabor I would like to share my expression of interest. #Pebble By sharing those key learnings, it'll share best practises and be a point of reference for other members of the fediverse.

If you haven't been paying attention, It has been only barely 3 days since #Pebble closed its doors and many are moving to the #Fediverse and settling in over at https://pebble.social.
However, prior to that, when the announcement of the shutdown was first made, the first thing that happened was the creation and marketing of the hashtag #T2pub. The purpose of the hashtag was to make it easier to discover content from former #PebbleIs users, regardless of where in the fediverse you are located.
A few days later, the @t2pub was born. It is a fediverse #group. Anyone who is following the group is guaranteed to receive the latest T2pub group content shared by other users. As compared to the hashtag, it relies heavily on if the user was already discovered by an account's local instance.
Finally, pebble.social was born; and former Pebble users who migrated earlier to the Fediverse are moving to it.
Now, this is interesting because there is now a growing sub-community within the Fediverse network. Former #T2social users who primarily wish to interact with fellow former #T2 users; while, at the same time, keeping the lines open for interaction with the wider fediverse.
If we look at it from a #SciFi or #Fantasy or #ScienceFantasy perspective, if different star systems (for example Sol System) are the software, and the different planets (for example Planet Mars) are the instances; we've just witnessed migrants from the “Pebble Universe” after it collapsed.
These migrants found a planet of their own and called is Pebble.Social which is located in the Mastodon star system.
And those who landed on other planets are relocating to the Pebble.social Planet; however, as they are still settling in this new world and new universe, they are still primarily concerned on their own planet. Building it up. Setting up their communities.
However, in the #Fediverse, hashtags are the best way to be discovered by people who are (1) not following you; and (2) not watching their “Federated timeline” feed.
While group tags (like chirp.social and a.gup.pe groups) is more of a filtered discovery tool, wherein only those following the group will see your posts.
However, if the other users are using the custom frontend phanpy.social then they can see the “Local timeline” of pebble.social. Or, if the other users are using #Firefish or #Qoto and have set it up to monitor #Pebble's “Local timeline” then they'll see your posts regardless.
But most people are using the mainline Mastodon software, which lacks the feature to see “Local timelines” of other instances; so #Pebblers on other instances won't see your content unless someone they are already following re-shared / boosted your post.
@tyler I have tried so many as well, the mastodon.social one just looked like a great default, but I just now realised that there is a #Pebble community here on Mastodon now with #t2pub / @t2pub / @t2 and this instance you're on. Also looking at how to move my mastodon.social account.
