Thousands Have Joined #Mastodon Since #Twitter Changed Hands. Its Founder Has a Vision for Democratizing Social Media
BY BILLY PERRIGO
"Mastodon, which proudly proclaims it is “not for sale” and has around 4.5 million user accounts, is pretty similar to Twitter, once users get past the complicated sign-up process. The main difference is that it’s not one cohesive platform, but actually a collection of different, independently-run and self-funded servers. Users on different servers can still communicate with each other, but anybody can set up their own server, and set their own rules for discussion. Mastodon is a crowdfunded nonprofit, which funds the full-time work of Rochko—its sole employee—and several popular servers.
...
TIME spoke with Rochko on Oct. 31.
...
...If you allow the most intolerant voices to be as loud as they want to, you’re going to shut down voices of different opinions as well. So allowing free speech by just allowing all speech is not actually leading to free speech, it just leads to a cesspit of hate.
I think that is a very uniquely American idea of creating this marketplace of ideas where you can say anything you want completely without limits. It is very foreign to the German mindset where we, in our Constitution, our number one priority is maintaining human dignity. And so, hate speech is not part of the German concept of free speech, for example. So I think that when Elon Musk says that everything’s gonna be allowed, or whatever, I generally disagree with that."...Twitter Rival Mastodon's Founder Has a Vision for Democratizing Social Media

Meanwhile, on #Twitter - maybe its end days as an open platform - Tsar Elon has said rules are coming, but meanwhile, seems to have hired back at least one person to message a disclaimer that maybe some claims might not be 100% true, or complete.
This on the heels of his posting a Nazi meme and telling people to vote Rethuglican ... So much for neutrality. (or #truth)

Twitter Inc. temporarily shut down its offices and cut off employees' access to internal systems Friday after telling employees they would be notified by email later in the day if they were terminated.

To fire employees by email.
"Musk, the world's richest person, is looking to cut around 3,700 Twitter staff, or about half the workforce, as he seeks to slash costs and impose a demanding new work ethic, according to internal plans."

Meanwhile, in Twitter land....
Many people use and refer to it, many people ignore it or find it aversive...
But whatever one's relation to it, a regular source of info, social contact with large audiences, getting likes/follows, or seeing cartoons - Twitter has been a known entity, in its last glory days with layers of celebrities and power users and mere mortals selectively tuning in.
So now, while it's not my home turf and I'm just a speck of dust in the wind, I watch it as a social scientist and chronicler of social media. And my subjective filters include personal recollection of having a platform I and many actively used and loved for 8 years, exterminated by Google. Leaving a huge vacuum in Cyberspace and scattering people about, many 'homeless'.
This moment in time I feel bad both for employees, and for innocent users of the non-celebrity type, of which there are many, good people pursuing noble causes & topics (environment, animal rights, human rights, cooking tips, humor, sports, literature, etc.)
Some of these people worked for years, or just organically grew, large followings, just as many on Google+ did (communities, etc.)
And today across Twitter are posts like this, today being akin to the end days of Google+ (for me, anyway), watching the count-down clock to 'existential destruction' before are eyes as pieces went dead. At #Twitter, today remaining staff were unceremoniously locked out of work programs (some accounts of this, being signed off accounts etc.) Impacting employees, for sure. Upsetting many "on principle" with #Musk's inane, naive, and powered-by- #TrumpVirus posts and proclamations, tearing down the Town Square and then charging its star attractions for their name verification (rather than being paid, as suggested by King), and as people leave, talk of two tiers, changing its core functions/services, and otherwise driving "woke" people away. Maybe it's his intent (like 'catch & hold').
Anyway.... "just a thought". For many it's not set in, others are freaking and/considering "what next", "where now"....
Even the small fraction who rely on Twitter as a base for "social" more than informational/political/commercial uses - I feel bad for, having been there, done that. More than once. But Twitter, if I may quote the (real) President, is "a big f---ing deal". Sad to watch.

What are your thoughts on #Twitter changing ownership? I'll prob still use it. I use many social networks, so worst case scenario if Twitter starts to suck I might give up on it. Either way, my life isn't affected much by a change in ownership. Twitter might actually get better
