What is Bluesky?
Bluesky is a "decentralized" social media platform backed by former Twitter CEO and founder Jack Dorsey. It's led by CEO Jay Graber, who was chosen by pre-Musk Twitter at least in part thanks to her background as a crypto developer, according to CoinDesk(opens in a new tab). It was meant to function a bit like Mastodon, another Twitter alternative, with its federated universe of individual servers that users can traverse. But Bluesky is very new, and those separations between communities that ended up working against Mastodon — since many users found them confusing(opens in a new tab) — have basically not been built yet.

Twitter ist Geschichte. Nicht die Social-Media-App, die gibt es (noch!) nach wie vor. Sondern das Unternehmen hinter Twitter. Elon Musk hat Twitter Inc. nämlich mit einer neuen Firma verschmolzen, die er erst 2022 gegründet hat.
Das neue Unternehmen hinter Twitter heißt X Corp. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/t/social-media-and-its-influence/?&tag=Twitter

Mastodon, which proudly proclaims it is “not for sale” and has around 4.5 million user accounts, is pretty similar to Twitter, once users get past the complicated sign-up process. The main difference is that it’s not one cohesive platform, but actually a collection of different, independently-run and self-funded servers. Users on different servers can still communicate with each other, but anybody can set up their own server, and set their own rules for discussion. Mastodon is a crowdfunded nonprofit, which funds the full-time work of Rochko—its sole employee—and several popular servers.

How to Join Mastodon, the Ad-Free Social Network Billionaires Can't Buy
A short primer how to join the great #TwitterMigration and what to expect from the servers you join.
Six months ago, after the news broke that changes were coming to Twitter’s policies against disinformation and hate speech, I decided to give Mastodon a try. Unfortunately, I didn’t stick with the app long enough to develop a habit of using it. After returning to it once again this week, that’s something I’ve come to regret. In the few days since (mostly) ditching Twitter, I’ve gained a new respect for the platform, which is decidedly less toxic and is far more conversational and troll-free. I’m hoping this very brief guide will serve new users as well as those hearing about it for the first time.

Twitter is going through some turmoil at the moment...to say the least. Ever since the new "Chief Twit" took over, many advertisers and popular users have fled from the app, seeking greener pastures. With the competition at its weakest, many Twitter alternatives have stepped up to take the popular app's place. Apps like Cohost, B-Heard, and CounterSocial are offering new, safer spaces for users afraid of what "free speech" looks like on Twitter, however, the app gaining the most buzz as of late is Mastodon.

Details about Donald Trump’s new social media app “Truth Social” are trickling out as about 500 beta testers have begun using an early version of the platform.
The former president announced his plans for the new social media platform in October, promising to rival the tech companies that banned him from their platforms after the Capitol insurrection.
His new media and technology venture, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), has pledged to deliver an “engaging and censorship-free experience” on the Truth Social app.
TMTG remains shrouded in secrecy and is regarded with skepticism by many in tech and media circles. Comments from beta testers this week suggest the platform bears a striking resemblance to Twitter.

Facebook hat ein Tiktok-Problem: Das weltgrößte Online-Netzwerk hat im vergangenen Quartal erstmals kaum neue Nutzer dazugewonnen. Die Zahl täglich aktiver Mitglieder sank sogar binnen drei Monaten um rund eine Million. Bei monatlicher Aktivität gab es ein für Facebook-Verhältnisse mageres Plus von zwei Millionen.
Zusammen mit der Enttäuschung über die Umsatzprognose für das laufende Quartal trieben die Zahlen Anleger in die Flucht: Die Aktie des Dachunternehmens Meta verlor in einem spektakulären Kurssturz im nachbörslichen Handel am Mittwoch fast 23 Prozent.

Twitter users are turning to the long-established federated community system known as Mastodon as the Musk era brings chaos to the 'bird site' social network. But how can you best secure a Mastodon account?
As even more employees leave Twitter following Elon Musk's 48 hours to quit ultimatum, and previously banned accounts return, the social network could be facing it's most perilous weeks since going into private ownership. For many Twitter users, the escape route to another network is coming via Mastodon. The Twitter infosec community is already establishing a healthy Mastodon presence, but many non-infosec users are asking how secure the federated community network is.
Is Mastodon a secure social network? Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/topic/social-media-and-its-influence/?&tag=Mastodon https://www.scoop.it/topic/securite-pc-et-internet/?&tag=Mastodon

Tröten bald alle?
Mastodon gilt manchen als das neue Twitter: nicht kommerziell, ohne Algorithmus und alle so konstruktiv. Doch es könnte auch zu nett werden.
Tröten statt Zwitschern: Bei Mastodon darf man mindestens 500 Zeichen auf einmal posten.
Twitter ist vielleicht nicht der schönste Ort des Internets, aber einer der praktischsten: Man kann sich dort vernetzen. Es ist ein Ort für Diskussion und Austausch: Virologie, Cybersecurity, Wirtschaftspolitik. Es gibt viele Fachbereiche, deren aktuelle Debatten man einigermaßen gut verfolgen kann, indem man sich in die richtigen Twitter-Bubbles reinwühlt.

It’s been called Twitter Article before, but now the bird app’s long-form posts feature goes by Notes, and it’s officially being tested with a few users now.
On Wednesday, Twitter announced via a tweet that it was now testing its Notes feature and introduced it as “a way to write longer on Twitter.” Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/t/social-media-and-its-influence/?&tag=Twitter

Vor mehr als einem Jahr, nach der Stürmung des US-Kapitols, verbannten diverse soziale Netzwerke Donald Trump von ihren Plattformen. Der ehemalige Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten hat daraufhin sein eigenes soziales Netzwerk gegründet, das Nutzer jetzt zum ersten Mal testen können.
Auf „Truth Social“ hat Trump nun seinen ersten Post abgesetzt, nachdem er sich auf Twitter und Facebook nicht mehr selbst direkt an seine Anhänger wenden konnte. „Get Ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!“, schreibt Trump – „Macht euch bereit! Bald gibt es ein Wiedersehen mit eurem Lieblingspräsidenten“.
