I want to be able to tell my friends why #mastodon is better than the birdsite, so I wrote a thing: "Mastodon Is Better than Twitter: Elevator Pitch"
https://www.codesections.com/blog/mastodon-elevator-pitch/

I want this to be as persuasive as possible to outsiders, so I'd appreciate as much feedback as possible from Mastodon users

Hey, have you noticed how amazing Free Software is?

It's pretty great!

Let's all be friends and figure out together how we can use these "computers" and "networks" to make the world a better place! ❤️

Happy (American) Thanksgiving, y'all.

One of the many things I'm grateful for this year is the wonderful #fosstodon community that we've discovered/built together. You are all great—thanks for being you!

"People are still more worried that a third-party company like #CambridgeAnalytica used facebook's data instead of what they should actually be worried about: that #Facebook had that data to begin with"
"If Cambridge Analytica can sway elections and referenda with a relatively small subset of facebook's data, imagine what facebook can and does do with the full set." - @aral

Apparently, #Mastodon has extensive keyboard shortcuts! In the WebUI of your instance, click here to view them! 🙂

(I love shortcuts so I thought I'd share them for others who hadn't seen the little link down there 😉)

One more thing while we're at it. If anyone has connections to opensource projects I'd implore you to reach out and request that they start migrating or at least mirroring their presence on the fediverse (mastodon, peertube etc, etc), it just makes sense!

The more people ask the more likely it is to happen.
