So I joined this social media platform that I fount out about through WordPress where I host my website InTheNewsfeed at. Looked interesting, there claim via Twitter/X , Mastodon (@Mastodon@mastodon.social) @joinmastodon
“At Mastodon, we present a vision of social media that cannot be bought and owned by any billionaire. Your ability to communicate online should not be at the whims of a single commercial company!”
I joined about a month ago in December and it took about a week to get some of my post removed, check out the post headings.
I appealed,
No reversal.
When I first joined I noticed a lot of (Twitter/X users) ranting about Twitter and anti Trump stuff. I figured no problem, everyone has a opinion. Looks a lot like Flipboard, a lot of left leaning news post. I also post there but never no problems.
According to Wikipedia,
“Mastodon was created by Eugen Rochko and announced on Hacker News in October 2016,[9] and gained significant adoption in 2022 in the wake of Twitter’s acquisition by Elon Musk.[10][11][12]“, which I didn’t look up till now, don’t think it would have mattered though. still would have given it a shot.
Another of the search results gave me this, A beginner’s guide to Mastodon, the open source Twitter alternative ,
“As Twitter users fret over the direction that new owner Elon Musk is taking the company, masses of users have hopped over to Mastodon, an open-source Twitter alternative. The news that Twitter is rebranding to ‘X’, a change already live on the website, spurred a surge in usage numbers for the open-source rival.
Since October 27, when the SpaceX and Tesla CEO formalized his Twitter takeover, Mastodon has gained 2.1M monthly active users. But what is Mastodon, and should we all be getting our accounts set up?
If you’re a Twitter purist who likes to use basic functionality like private DMing, quote-tweeting and user-friendly onboarding, Mastodon might not be for you. But if you’re looking to try something new on the social internet, then why not give Mastodon a whirl? Elon Musk isn’t there!”
Anyway on Jan 26th they suspended my account, again check out the post headlines.
I appealed,
The result,
Just wanted to share, besides the government and all the other news, censorship is still alive and well.
As always God bless American and you. #MAGA!
