AnneTheWriter<p>MUSK WATCH (15-16 August 2023):</p><p>So the other night, I popped back to check in on my old Twitter account. Nothing new in my alerts. No Likes, RTs, etc. and the suggested tweets were none of my usual topics.</p><p>So for spits and giggles, I checked what was trending.</p><p>Despite Trump's latest <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/indictment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>indictment</span></a> being on almost every TV channel 24/7, it didn't even come up as a topic in ANY of the Trending lists-- not even under "News" or "Trending in the USA."</p><p>Then I manually checked hashtags like <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Indictment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Indictment</span></a>, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Indicted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Indicted</span></a>, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TrumpIndictment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIndictment</span></a>, etc and got an ERROR message EVERY TIME. (So I know it wasn't just that the algorithm might have gotten messed up by my not having been back for a bit.)</p><p>Apparently, now <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> is burying news that he doesn't want people to see.</p><p>I'm not shocked by this, but I wanted to make sure there was someone documenting his crap.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MuskWatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MuskWatch</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TwitterAlert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TwitterAlert</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Twitter</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Elon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Elon</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TwitterMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TwitterMigration</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MuskAlert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MuskAlert</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Trending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trending</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TwitterIsBroken" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TwitterIsBroken</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Manipulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Manipulation</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TrendingTopics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrendingTopics</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a></p>

There are thousands of small instances, and you can join any of them.

Poor management decisions have led to a state in which the platforms we use can no longer meet our needs as users.<br><br>There are a few alternatives I'm seeing people flock to - </span><b><span>BlueSky</span></b><span>, </span><b><span>Itaku</span></b><span>, and </span><b><span>Cohost</span></b><span>, amongst others. These are all privately owned entities whose main user base consists of people who either cannot use Twitter any longer or who have chosen to leave for greener pastures.<br><br>They are businesses profiting off of the mismanagement of Twitter, and there are no safeguards in place to ensure what's happening to Twitter doesn't happen in any one of those sites in the future. Do you want to have to change primary social media platforms every 3 years? Do you want your data and habits and interests sold to make these companies a profit? Do you want your text and media used to train AI? Do you want lax moderation that allows for hate groups to flourish on a platform?<br><br>I don't. So any privately owned social media website is off the table for me. What does that leave me with?<br>I was delighted to be able to find Mastodon, and its various sister platforms collectively referred to as the Fediverse.<br><br>A privately owned social media service hosts all of its information on a single server that you can only access via official websites and apps. This is what gives them exclusive control over what you see and how you see it, as well as what rules govern those posts. This is also why they can hosts ads - by being the only place you can go to see their content, your eyes must go to a page they control, and they can put things on that page that make them money.<br><br>However, the Fediverse (Mastodon, Misskey, Calckey, Pleroma) works by linking many independent smaller Servers - sometimes called Instances - together in a large web of interconnected social media sites. This means you can see and follow people from any site you want, and by "federating" (joining together) in this way a net of smaller servers can compete with a privately owned larger one. -&gt;</span></p>
