Anfang des Jahres wurde erstmals über einen Gmail-Konkurrenten spekuliert, den Elon Musk entwickeln lassen soll. Am 23. Februar 2024 hatte Musk auf seiner Plattform X auf die Frage eines Mitarbeiters, "wann machen wir XMail?" mit "Es kommt" geantwortet. In einem am 16. Dezember 2024 auf seiner Plattform X veröffentlichten Post hat er dies nun bestätigt. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/t/social-media-and-its-influence/?&tag=Twitter

X rival and social media platform Bluesky now boasts over 2 million users, as announced by the team on Thursday. A year after its creation, the Jack Dorsey-backed app marked the milestone while detailing its pending plan of creating a "a truly open social network" — and adding a major feature from Twitter.
Bluesky, a decentralized social media app, is set to add a public web interface, which means users will be able to view posts without being logged in on an account — Bluesky currently still requires an invite code to sign up to its platform. It's a replication of what was once a main feature of Twitter/X, and something that owner Elon Musk has gone back and forth on.

Bluesky is a decentralized, text-based social media platform. We'll get into what exactly that means in a second, but for all intents and purposes, think of it as a social network that offers many of the same core features as Twitter but with the curated communities of platforms like Discord or Mastodon.
You can create short text posts (up to 300 characters) commonly referred to as "skeets," share other people's posts, post photos and reply to other users. Like Twitter, messages posted to BlueSky show up on a newsfeed that your followers and other users can see. Posts can be replied to, liked, shared, reported or shared via other apps.

If there's one thing we can count on Meta to do, it's copy another app. Following the latest stretch of tweeting confusion, Instagram's Twitter competitor, Threads, has arrived.
The new app, which launched today for iOS(opens in a new tab) and Android, is basically exactly like your old app, Twitter, but with less Elon Musk and more Mark Zuckerberg. Each post can be up to 500 characters long, in comparison to Twitter's 280 or Twitter Blue's exorbitant 25,000, and each Threads post can include links, photos, and videos up to five minutes long — twice as long as Twitter's two and a half minutes but far shorter than Twitter Blue's two-hour-long(opens in a new tab) ability.

Folks are spending less time on Twitter since Elon Musk bought the social media site last year, but there’s still plenty of demand for similar platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky. To that point, Meta has long been rumored to be building its own platform to rival Twitter. After months of speculation, there’s finally some details to go along with the rumors, according to digital media marketing expert Lia Haberman.

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.

L’interface mobile ne posera aucun problème aux habitués de Twitter. Néanmoins, quelques particularités sont visibles quand il s’agit de configurer votre compte Bluesky. Il est possible de gérer différents paramètres au sein de deux espaces distincts. Le premier volet s’affiche en cliquant sur le menu burger en haut à gauche de votre écran. Une barre de navigation latérale apparaît alors, comme sur X. Elle présente votre profil, accompagné des options de recherche, de vos notifications, de vos feeds, de votre profil, de votre modération et de vos paramètres.

Threads, Meta's answer to Twitter, is here.
Launched on July 6, the new standalone app is dedicated to "sharing text updates and joining public conversations", according to Meta(opens in a new tab). This is essentially what Twitter offered, prior to owner and CEO Elon Musk's takeover and several questionable choices unrelentingly aimed at pushing users toward a paid Twitter Blue subscription.
Built by the Instagram team and directly linked to your Instagram account, Threads allows posts that are up to 500 characters long, which can include links, photos, GIFs, and videos up to five minutes in length.

While the future remains uncertain for Twitter, Meta is throwing its hat into the ring to build the next major microblogging platform. This new Meta app is expected to launch this summer, according to an email shared with a select group of creators, and viewed by TechCrunch.
This text-based app will stand alone, but it will be partially integrated within Instagram. Users will keep their Instagram verification and handle, and all of their followers will receive a notification to go follow them on the to-be-named platform. Meta’s text-based platform will be decentralized and interoperable with Mastodon, which is built on the ActivityPub protocol.

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

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.
