This development comes at a time when tech companies are eyeing an opportunity to capitalise on the growing trend of Twitter users looking to migrate to alternative platforms, with the chaos in #Twitter caused under the new owner @elonmusk

Ich wollte nen Tweet mit Screenshots posten, aber Twitter ist derzeit gerade so kaputt, dass man anscheinend keine Bilder mehr posten und anklicken kann.
Hey, fast so, als hÀtten die bösen #Elon-Kritiker recht damit gehabt, dass er die Plattform an die Wand fÀhrt... #TwitterDown

The really remarkable thing isn't just that #Microsoft has decided that the future of #search isn't links to relevant materials, but instead lengthy, florid paragraphs written by a #chatbot who happens to be a habitual liar - even more remarkable is that #Google agrees. 1/

Microsoft has nothing to lose. It's spent billions on #Bing, a search-engine no one voluntarily uses. Might as well try something so stupid it might just work. But why is Google, a monopolist who has a 90+% share of search worldwide, jumping off the same bridge as Microsoft? 3/

Here is how #platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. 1/

I call this #enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two sided market." 3/

In "Social Quitting," my latest @LocusMag column, I analyze the precipitous #VibeShift of the dominant social media platforms: how we so quickly went from wondering how to get shut of them to asking where we go now that we're all ready to quit.

The core of the argument revolves around #surpluses - that is, the value that exists in the service. For a user, surpluses are things like "being able to converse with your friends" and "being able to plan activities with your friends." 3/
No matter how benevolent a dictatorship is, it's still a dictatorship, and subject to the dictator's whims. We must demand that the owners and leaders of tech platforms be fair and good - but we must also be prepared for them to fail at this, sometimes catastrophically. 1/

Elon Musk has purposely degraded the value of Twitter because it is an impediment to his desire for unaccountable power. Responsible progressive commentators must open Mastodon accounts, encourage their audiences to join Mastodon, & set up cross-posting to make it easy for allâŠ

How to join Mastodon washingtonpost.com/technology/202âŠ
I left #teaching on Friday. I've had a few days to recover and gather my thoughts, and here they are. I loved the school, loved the children, had great success and was proud of my achievements but after 7 years of giving my heart and soul, I had to stop. Something has to change.
When I joined the school I was impressed with the enlightened attitude to workload, in particular the feedback policy (no crazy book marking, lots of WCF and verbal feedback instead), and behaviour was better than nearby schools... but...
After COVID and the new #OFSTED framework, expectations seemed to ramp up, and behaviour declined. My work days lengthened, while - a victim of my own success - class numbers at GCSE and A-level rose. We couldn't recruit, so I was stretched to breaking point.
0/ In the past weeks, #Mastodon network grew by 50% (and counting). A growth level that would impress any investor. And a growth level that makes many of the network's older users weary. To grow or not to grow â this is the big question for the #Fediverse. A đ§”:

#ContentModeration is fundamentally about making social media work better, but there are two other considerations that determine how social media *fails*: #EndToEnd (#E2E), and #FreedomOfExit. 1/
These are much neglected, and that's a pity, because how a system fails is every bit as important as how it works. 2/

So the account @ElonJet seems to have gone dormant last Mon (12/5) after it was #exposed that @elonmusk pushed to shadow ban the account because it was providing easy access to PUBLICLY available info.
I wonder if I'll be secretly shadow banned using the "#VisibilityFiltering" technique for deliberately bringing news of this from a #Mastodon link.

The online debate over #FreeSpeech *suuuuucks*, and, amazingly, it's *getting worse*. This week, it's the false dichotomy of #FreedomOfSpeech v #FreedomOfReach - whether a platform should override your explicit choices about what you want to see:

I donât know if many colleagues in the #EconTwitter community have abandoned #Twitter in favor of #Mastodon. In case anyone is interested, I donât plan to do it, nor do I plan to start using both. 1/11
I very much dislike what Elon Musk has been doing, but there are at least two reasons that will keep me just here. The simplest one to explain is that I donât have the time and energy to learn how to use a new platform. 2/11
I had literally zero social media presence before signing up for Twitter. After doing that, I also signed up for Facebook and (if I remember correctly) Instagram. I donât remember the last time I logged into those accounts. 3/11

Being more active on mastodon is an interesting experience so far. The engagement numbers (likes & boosts) are crazy high compared to twitter, despite only having 380 followers there. Feels far less controlled than the bird site. And you can edit posts! mastodon.social/@samim
How the mastadon timeline work
The fact that you can edit toot's on mastodon very elegantly, makes twitter look like a silly joke.
