What’s happening right now is eerily close to the “Gleichschaltung” that happened after Hitler took over Germany, basically bringing all media in line with the will of the party and the leader. It was news media then, it is social media now. Because for many people, social media is their primary news source.
The thing about Mastodon for influencers is… you don’t even have to leave Twitter. Just post to both.
If enough people get into that habit, it makes the transition much easier for everyone.
It blows my mind that places like the transit systems that were on Twitter haven’t migrated over to their own Mastodon server. They’re not that hard to set up, and there’s so little risk when you just don’t accept public signups on your domain.
Completely agree! Seeing the dumb little logos all over timetables and the sides of buses always makes me roll my eyes. First they had to change the “t” logo to the bird, then that’s out of date on a billionaire’s whim and they have to replace it with the apocalyptic “X”. Come on guys, this is getting embarrassing. Stop treating big private companies like Daddy, it’s time to stand on your own feet. The tools are there.
