Manche #Hochschulen fragen sich, wie sie Follower gewinnen auf #Mastodon
3️⃣ Die Hochschule sollte sich entschlossen dazu bekennen, dass sie bei Mastodon postet. Dazu am besten: über vorhandene eMail-Verteiler die Studierenden informieren, Mitarbeitende und Alumnis. Beweggründe nennen, wie die Orientierung am Leitbild, Einsatz für Demokratie ...

Manche #Hochschulen fragen sich, wie sie Follower gewinnen auf #Mastodon 🐘
1️⃣ Zuerst natürlich: Mastodon-Logo auf die Homepage setzen und auf den Account verlinken.
2️⃣ In der Übergangsphase, wenn der #X-Account herunter gefahren oder stillgelegt wird, kann man die Mastodon-URL auf der X-Seite nennen wie es die #UniKonstanz tut.

In den letzten Jahren haben #Mastodon-Accounts aufgesetzt:
die TU Darmstadt, die Unis in Mainz, Regensburg und Paderborn, die HTW Berlin, die PHs in Ludwigsburg und Weingarten, die HCU Hamburg, FH Margdeburg-Stendal, HfWU Nürtingen-Geislingen und die HfG Schwäbisch-Gmünd:
@TU, @unimainz, @uni_paderborn, @uni_regensburg, @HTW_Berlin, @phludwigsburg, @HCUHamburg, @h2international, @hs_rheinmain, @HfWU, @hfg_gmuend

Das ist schon ein guter Schritt in die richtige Richtung. 👌 #UnisInsFediverse.
Doch viele #Fediverse-Bewohner vermissen die Posts von diesen Accounts. 🤔 So geben diese #Hochschulen zwar noch Meldungen über #X (ehemals #Twitter) heraus, aber kaum auf #Mastodon.

Dabei warten Tausende möglicher Follower im #Fediverse. Und mit guter Software ist das Bespielen beider Kanäle so einfach, wie z.B. mit buffer.com. Wir stellen deshalb heute zur Abstimmung:

• Ja, diese Hochschulen sollten auf Mastodon posten (32%, 48 Stimmen)
• Ja, und ihren X-Account still legen (91%, 135 Stimmen)
• Nein, weitermachen wie bisher (0%, 0 Stimmen)

Our monthly engineering updates post is out! In July, we reviewed and merged 186 Pull Requests from 14 contributors.

Here's what we worked on, and what's next.

Das #Fediverse ist mittlerweile gewachsen und für viele ein zu Hause geworden - nicht nur für die Deadbird-Aussteiger. Frage in die Runde: Welche Accounts könnt ihr empfehlen? Welchen sollte man (unbedingt) folgen?

#mastodon #fediverse #account #accounts #konto #konten #fedihelp

@spaeth

That is correct.
Indeed, it is amazing how many politically active people point out that the time has come to defend democracy – but continue to post on #X.
Let's work for it that our campaign will soon encourage more universities to do so.

And for the possible readers from Belfast or Northern Ireland: maybe you can help #JessPhillips set up a #Mastodon account.

The latest on Twitter / X

It appears that many people outside of the UK have little idea what has been taking place over the past week here and Elon Musk's role in it.

Here's a thread explaining a bit more and why so many people in the UK are leaving X 🧵 👇

#X #Twitter #UKRiots #massmigration #socialmedia #mastodon #Threads #Bluesky

Seems a lot of people outside of the UK weren't aware of events unfolding here. With people leaving Twitter/X for other platforms, it's more important than ever to understand and promote federation between these platforms.

newsmast.social/@saskia/112925…

A point missed in this thread and worth pointing out: the riots were spread by misinformation (inadvertent) *and* disinformation (intentional).

#UnisInsFediverse

The #Guardian reports about the role of #X and other platforms in #UKriots and concludes
„We need a real and grown-up conversation about digital technology“ 🖥️
theguardian.com/media/article/…

In our petition we write:
“Our elected politicians .. continue to be intimidated and threatened on these platforms, .. and democratic institutions are attacked.“ Therefore
„We call on universities 👨‍🎓 and other higher education institutions in Germany to shut down their accounts on X (formerly Twitter) as soon as possible. … At the same time, a presence should be established on #Mastodon 🐘 and other #Fediverse 🌳 servers“

‘A polarisation engine’: how social media has created a ‘perfect storm’ for UK’s far-right riots

Algorithms that send the most outrageous comments viral and a chain reaction of anger and disinformation made the riots that followed the Southport killings inevitable

You know how folks will tell you that you should still use likes/favorites, even if they're are private, to let people know when you enjoy their posts?

A random thing I realized that I haven't really seen pointed out before, this can also be useful for people who use the number of likes/favorites to determine which posts should be automatically deleted.

#mastodon #fediverse #tip #likes #favorites #SocialMedia

Should have mentioned -- this works in #Mastodon and #glitchsoc servers from 4.2.0 onwards. The "from" filter works from 3.5.0 onwards.

The "from" filter works in #gotosocial 0.16.0 and up.

And the "from" and "language" filters work in #friendica 2024.3 and later releases.

If other server types support these search queries let me know.

If you want to know more about these options Luca's (@luca) blog post at lucahammer.com/2024/04/25/mast… is very informative.
