Oh yes, Egon Willighagen @egonw is so spot on here:
"I think every organization that communicates their research should have at least one open world communication channel"

Every researcher should ask their institution to get a mastodon instance. I've been pestering mine. Have you?
We know a lot of people have been asking, so we're delighted to say that The Bristol Cable don't just have a Social Web platform, they now have a dedicated account too!

can anyone help me find some graphics for social media alternatives that show the big social media logos and then the logo and name of the activitypub equivalent?
I know I have seen a few but suddenly can't find them.
Hey everyone,
@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• Anwar (@anwar88)
• Eyad family From Gaza 🇵🇸🍉 (@EyadFromGaza)
Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).
Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/
Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.
💕

Was der Name „+1-Strategie“ noch verbirgt: Es wird zwar nur ein weiterer Kanal genutzt, die Posts landen aber in mehreren Netzwerken – #ActivityPub sei Dank! Wer seine #WissKomm im Videoformat auch auf #PeerTube ausspielt, erreicht damit Menschen auf #Mastodon, #Misskey, #Bonfire oder auch nur mit normalen #RSS-Readern.
RE: https://bewegung.social/@neuSoM/116045528037601788
Das @neuSoM bleibt dran: Ein neuer Brief für due +1-Strategie: Öffentliche Einrichtungen sollten zumindest AUCH das Open Social Web und Dienste wie Mastodon nutzen.

If you want to go back and reference or search for something in some conversation you had with someone, you have to spend more cognitive energy trying to figure out which app and which service that conversation took place in. You’ll be lucky if that app even has a functional search, and you can imagine how much cognitive energy you’ll have to spend looking for it."

The smartest messaging method is not a segregated mess of WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, SMS, Slack, Teams, Facebook, Instagram, WeChat, etc.
I am doing my own experiment.
I love #Mastodon and the #fediverse
I think lots of people don't _know_ about this wonderful way to connect to people, how #socialmedia can be - but
I think people think the algorithm helps them, whereas I think that's big tech marketing.
I am sharing the same posts here and LinkedIn and Facebook, and I'm curious to see which performs best.
So, if you see my posts and like them, do please follow me and boost liberally, and I will be delighted to report back!

@rwg I really enjoyed the "Move Slowly and Build Bridges" talk this afternoon! Numerous others, none of whom I know, asked good questions and got good answers from you. We're at a fascinating moment in the #socialmedia space; we have a confluence of new capacity and sudden need that I hope our various levels of #government will see as the prime time to act for #digitalsovereignty. By using the #fediverse there is structural backbone for those who'd like, or those who have, a backbone.

Join Robert W. Gehl @rwg author of Move Slowly and Build Bridges, for his talk on February 12 from 1:00-2:00 PM in 2-20 B (Multipurpose Room) in the Digital Scholarship Centre in the U of Alberta library. The book examines #Mastodon, the #fediverse, and broader efforts to build #decentralized alternatives to corporate social media.
