@tchambers New research from my team on the #TwitterMigration: We analyze which platforms are growing - esp @joinmastodon, @tumblr & #postnews. We look at which sites users are adding to their Twitter bios, posting to their friends about & downloading apps for. ➡️https://is.gd/547N51 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fi-scCDUoAAQM1e.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1598704211541168128)

aaronpk Good PR

#
[KevinMarks] Hive has a "share a referrer link to jump the queue" growth model, so it has a lot of twitter buzz but very little actual use

[snarfed]2 finally got bookmarklets working with firefox mobile! relieved to have a reasonable phone reply/like/follow UX again. still clunkier than Twitter's in-app UX, but getting better

btrem TIL that Tantek worked on MSIE 5 for Mac. IIRC, that was the first browser that took web standards seriously. It was certainly one that had a good reputation in comp.infosystems.www.authoring.*.

[chrisaldrich] I've noticed a growing trend for the past month and change for people to put their mastodon handles as their Twitter display names. Others had done this in the past, but it seems to have caught on more lately. Has anyone here switched their Twitter display name to that of their own domain (either out of principle, in protest, or just to promote their own site as their canonical identity online)?

btrem I'm not on Mastodon. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what Mastodon is. In a similar fashion, I'm not sure what Instagram is, or Pinterest, or Grinder, or.... I know they all exist; that's about it. (Note to reader: I realize that Mastodon is probably nothing like the others on the list, for the simple reason that it alone has lots of indieweb folks using it.)

btrem I do have a Twitter account. I don't remember the last time I logged in. Years, for sure. I think my total number of posts on Twitter could be counted on one hand by a cast member of the Simpsons. :-D
#
[snarfed]2 [chrisaldrich] lol, my original twitter username _was_ my domain 😆

#
[snarfed]2 my facebook username still is, https://www.facebook.com/snarfed.org
#
btrem lol I Just checked: I joined Twitter in 2009. I made *one* post in 2015. That's **it**!
