@blinry I'll start next week, too. :)

@jansegers Toki Pona! <3

@saturno @TQ It made many of my close Twitter friends come here with me! <3

@saturno @blinry For one week, I will.

@TQ @blinry so no permanently?

@saturno @blinry Not for the moment, no. I think it will be a slow progression.
I remember the German VZ networks. A slow and painful death...

@ekkoren :3 @blinry

@rixx @TQ Falls wir das syncen wollen: Ab Montag, 0:00 UTC? Ich kann nen Aufruf schreiben! :3 #ditchbirdsite

@blinry @TQ @rixx das wir auf der birdsite alle gleichzeitig werben? :D

@blinry @rixx Okayo!

@blinry @TQ Schreiben Sie, wir boosten!

@TQ @rixx Ist der Hashtag gut, oder fällt uns noch was positiveres/griffigeres ein? Muss ja auch aus der Außenperspektive funktionieren.

Aber der Begriff "birdsite" macht schon neugierig, denk ich!

@blinry @rixx Open for input! Aber ich mag es eigentlich. ;)

@TQ @rixx @necrosis @vanecx Quick brainstorming:

#gomastodon #jointheherd #ditchtwitter #tokillabird #woollyweek

@blinry @vanecx @necrosis @TQ I really like #woollyweek, but I'm not sure it's as clear as #byebirdsite.

@rixx @blinry @vanecx @necrosis I'm team #byetwitter, as it's very loud and clear.

@TQ @rixx @blinry @vanecx
what about #500vs140
First it sounds strange. But every Twitter user will know what 140 means. 140 as a bottleneck.

Or #500isthenew140 ?

@necrosis @rixx @blinry @vanecx It might not be that important to the users. The sites differ in so many ways, and to me 500 characters was never that important.

@TQ @rixx @blinry @vanecx thats true. Most Twitter users did not want, that Twitter abolish the 140 limit.

@necrosis @TQ @rixx @blinry @vanecx

good point, I suggest #500cap140

@rixx @blinry @necrosis @TQ 2 hasthags should solve this issue : one to say you leave twitter, one to say you join mastodon (like a #byeTwitter #helloMastodon simply)

@vanecx @rixx @blinry @necrosis Great idea.

@TQ @vanecx @rixx @necrosis I agree! :)

@vanecx @rixx @blinry @TQ good idea. +1

@TQ @necrosis @blinry @rixx For the day, eventhoug I understand the "quick need" argument, there is one event next month : "On May 22, Twitter shareholders will vote on whether to investigate a radical proposal: Turning the social network into a cooperative owned by its users"

@blinry @rixx @TQ hat was von Vögelseite :D #NSFW

@necrosis @blinry @rixx Loool

@rixx @TQ @blinry wenn du die Hashtags #NTL und #NSFW dazu packst hast eh den besten clickbait. xD

Aber eigentlich sind wir ja zu anständig für solche Methoden. ^^

@necrosis @rixx @TQ @blinry A few observations : "ditch" is more difficult to understand for non-english speakers than "bye", so I'd recommend a simple "byeTwitter" hashtag. Also, what about deciding of one day in, let's say, one month? So people can take time to inform everyone and save their contacts etc (and the hashtag & date will have time to be known here&there). My 2 cents.

@vanecx @necrosis @TQ @blinry

I'd still like to keep "birdsite" in there. I like the sound of "ditch", but I think that #byebirdsite could also work (yay alliteration!)

In my experience, announcing a hard cut works best (and then not checking back to re-tweet stuff as I do atm >.<). Doesn't need to be forever, but going for a week is a very clear signal.

@vanecx Good thoughts, thank you! @necrosis @rixx @blinry

@blinry Ich bin dabei, werde aber wohl auch vorher nicht zur Vogelseite zurück kehren. 😉

@TQ @rixx @winniehell @NinahMarie Und nochmal zum Startzeitpunkt: Wär's vllt besser, den auf die Nacht von Sa auf So zu legen? Damit die arbeitende Bevölkerung gleich am ersten Tag viel Zeit zum Eingewöhnen hat? Und es für alle Zeitzonen halbwegs am Wochenende ist?

@blinry I don't know ... I prefer monday actually ;) @TQ @rixx @winniehell

@NinahMarie @TQ @rixx @winniehell Okay! :) Just a thought.

@blinry ok! @rixx @TQ

@TQ @rixx @necrosis @vanecx @NinahMarie @winniehell

First draft, harsh criticism welcome: https://morr.cc/woolly-week/

(Just trying out the hashtag #woollyweek to see how it looks like. #byetwitter #hellomastodon sounds so final and a little business-speak-ish, is rather long and somehow a little emotionless. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.)

@blinry I'll reply only to you, then. I'd like to add two instances, namely witches.town for LGBT+-activists, and awoo.space as a safe space with very strict rules and moderation. Most ppl from my bubble can identify with these two instances, the rest is heading for octodon or chaos.social.

Under "fun things to try..." I'd add a paragraph about having multiple accounts. And you can add my account to yours to help people. :)

@TQ Warm ACK to all of this! :) awoo.space seems to have closed its registration, though?

@blinry Looks that way, yes. Well, they should be mentioned at least for their whitelist, I think.

@TQ I agree!

@TQ @blinry does chaos.social have a defined user base yet? Or just "awesome people"?

@TQ Added witches and awoo, a multiple accounts hint (suggesting tenforward, among others), and you! :)

@blinry I prefer a more positive # too :) I'm not ready to delete my twitter yet. So woollyweek is much better than ditch the birdsite :pp @TQ @rixx @necrosis @vanecx @winniehell

@blinry hahaha I didn't know oulipo.social! <3 @TQ @rixx @necrosis @vanecx @winniehell

@winniehell @NinahMarie @vanecx @necrosis @rixx @TQ Any other remarks/ideas? Would publish it otherwise! :)

@blinry it's great the way it is! :)

@blinry @TQ @rixx @vanecx @NinahMarie @winniehell
what about the issue one cannnot delete its account on mastodon?
If someone decide to leave the network, he will be upset maybe and warn other ppl to join our campaign.

@necrosis @blinry @rixx @vanecx @NinahMarie @winniehell

True... I've got a short article (german) about the limitations of Mastodon in the pipeline... Perhaps I'll finish that one first and we add a link there?
