Decentralisation is not enough: With many Twitter users moving to Mastodon, institutions should take responsibility and host their own Mastodon server, argue Vincent Traag (@[email protected]), Jonathan Dudek, Eleonora Dagiene, Nees Jan van Eck & Rodrigo Costas.

I've been disengaging from this site for a while and I'm really not checking back here much now

If you're interested in further conversation you'll find me over at @[email protected] on #Mastodon +

take 2... I'm moving to mastodon - will also keep track of twitter for a while! find me on @[email protected] - hope to see you there!

It seems that a critical mass has already shifted to #Mastodon . I will no longer cross-post my messages from Mastodon here.

Looking forward to (re)connecting with you at Mastodon! mastodon.online/@vtraag

Eens met Vincent Traag (@[email protected]) - laten we deze kans voor een democratischer, transparanter en vooral socialere media grijpen. volkskrant.nl/columns-opinie…

De recente migratie van Twitter gebruikers naar #Mastodon opent mogelijkheden om onze sociale media gezonder te maken. Zonder centrale autoriteit die alles beslist, kunnen in dit #decentrale systeem individuele gemeenschappen zelf beslissen hoe… mastodon.online/@vtraag/109346…

Opinie 🐘[email protected]: Grijp Twitterchaos aan om de regie op de sociale media terug te pakken

It’s happening. Find me on #mastodon at @[email protected]. Also check out services like DeBirdify (pruvisto.org/debirdify/) but consider this: you can restart! Curate one’s own community and not subject to ‘suggestions’. New and calmer and more intelligent conversations await :-)

Planning to move to Mastodon?🐘

We've got you covered: Leiden Madtrics has just joined as well:

@[email protected] akademienl.social/web/@leidenmad…

See you over there!

CWTS | Leiden University

I've just joined #Mastodon . You can find me here: @[email protected] akademienl.social/@neesjanvaneck

Thanks Robbert Hoogstraat for setting up the server and happy to see so many colleagues already there!

Quantitative Science Studies can now also be found on #Mastodon ; interesting resemblance between ongoing debate about social media infrastructures (Twitter, Mastodon, ...) and discussions about scholarly infrastructures taking place in the field of quantitative science studies!

Calling Bullshit How about setting up your own Mastodo server at callingbullshit.org? That already takes care of the name aspect directly. :)

For people *actually* leaving Twitter in the midst of all the chaos, Mastodon appears to be emerging as an alternative social network. Wrote about it here:

Quite excited to now be here @[email protected] akademienl.social/@MsPhelps and try out decentralized-but-not-siloed social media.

Thanks Robbert Hoogstraat for setting up the server!

CWTS | Leiden University Well done!! Academia can be a strong force in changing the way we engage with social media

Happy to announce that CWTS is from now on also available on Mastodon! 🥳

Looking forward to the conversations here, and curious to discover how this will develop in the future.
