I missed it, but it appears that #OpenBazaar is gone. Their #Twitter account has some details (from early 2021).

OB was a fee-free peer-to-peer marketplace. I think it was based on #cryptocurrencies ... at least #Bitcoin #BTC.

@gargron ) as it signifies the network is growing to be more independent of its most famous developer.

> The new most followed person is
@georgetakei@universeodon.com

So let me tell you why this is NOT a good thing. George Takei is a celebrity actor. That people are crawling after actors and other celebs means that the #Twitter migration is bringing their culture (with all its flaws) here. Again, as they did this before during #Mastodon's early growth. Much Masto culture is merely Twitter and Tumblr culture, sometimes reflected in a mirror and sometimes adopted wholesale.

Thankfully, the #Fediverse is more than just Mastodon.

Since the #Twitter siege against journalists and alternative #socnet platforms began a few hours ago, the number of new #Mastodon accounts started surging again.

> +3,992 in the last hour
> +29,495 in the last day

This doesn't count GS, Friendica, Pleroma, Misskey, Epicyon, PixelFed, or any other #Fediverse platform.

@geniusmusing Also, this drastically reduces the utility of the platform. When something happens--an event, a news story, a tragedy--people turn to #Twitter because the people in the know are there. Severe weather, earthquake, flood, all of them are reported on Twitter, sometimes with links to a news or agency report. California Highway Patrol even puts its AMBER alerts there.

@geniusmusing I guess that means that any journalist that uses #Twitter should be opening one or more backup accounts in the #Fediverse and using it enough to be familiar and ready ... and giving their current audience enough heads up so they know where to find their chosen news sources.

https://prodromou.pub/@evan/109498060348615260

@evan@prodromou.pub @evan@identi.ca ( and formerly @evan@e14n.com ) has said this a few times, but here it is again.

"Every time you post on Twitter, you produce value for the advertisers.

You tell everyone in your network there that it's OK to stay. That you're all helpless to leave.

You tell the people who've lost their jobs, the people who are being hounded and harassed, that they are not important to you.

You know you're going to be ashamed of it later.

Just stop posting.

Do it here, not there. Connect here, not there.

Don't reply, don't like, don't retweet.

Stop feeding your life into the machine."

This was true before Elon #Musk bought #Twitter, but I guess it wasn't as important before.

I don't fully agree, simply because there may be some advantages to many people who continue to use Twitter instead of moving to the #Fediverse (e.g., #GNU_Social, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Misskey, #PixelFed, #Lenny / #Lemmy, etc) or they would have moved over already.

Also, because unless one self-hosts one's own presence, an angry instance admin is all it takes to lose all posts and connections and have to start over. Or, if one has contacts on a different instance, then irate instance admins participating in #blockwars (including #fediblock) can separate the person from some portion of their contacts.

So remember, everything that Twitter is or can do to you, your Fediverse instance can also do. Most instances will never do most of those things, but pretending that one is safe here could result in disappointment in the future.

  The paradox of Mastodon is no one (not even mastodon.social) likes mastodon.social dominating the network, or Eugen G being the sole arbiter of extensions to the common protocol, but on the other hand, ultimately, the reason we all use Mastodon (IE, the part of the Fediverse people think of as "Mastodon", modeled on the Mastodon extensions to ActivityPub) instead of Secure Scuttlebutt or identi.ca or whatever is because Mastodon was the AP implementation that had one person's singular vision.

I think it was December of 2007 when I joined #Twitter. I liked it so much that I joined a bunch of similar services, such as #Jaiku, #Pownce, and #Plurk. In 2009, someone on Twitter told me that as an open source person, I should try an open source Twitter clone, #Identi.ca. I did, and thirteen years later, I'm still active here.
