My Mastodon experiment begins now.Till Monday morning, I'm off Twitter and will be using Mastodon instead. Let's see how this goes!If it goes well, I don't mind having a 2 day/week Mastodon only rule.

The thing with Birdsite is that I've put in a lot of effort on that platform and gained some following. Took years to do it.Now, it's really hard to just let go of it all and move to another platform to do it all over again. Frankly, it's a bit terrifying.Also goes to show how much I've started to depend on Birdsite. Sigh.

@Memeghnad most influencers I spoke to now to move have similar thoughts and building from scratch is difficult but doable, I think it should be more like a transition then abrupt moving somewhere else so it will show influencers also how much their content really influences ;)

@Deepsealioness you have a point. And I'm really glad that there are a few brave people who are still following me here. I feel so utterly thankful to them tbh. Wouldn't exist without them really.

@Memeghnad I know we are so used to the existing clout! And am glad they are following me here too. They make me what I am and am thankful and humbled

@Deepsealioness @Memeghnad Shows so well, that popularity on social media platforms are not in your hands but in the SM platforms'. If they fall, so do millions of influencers!

@Memeghnad We will have to be on twitter for sometime and make sure everyone there migrates. We can fully migrate and shut our twitter accounts down finally.

But, I have learnt my lesson: Never EVER entangle your professional life with a platform that you have no control over.I often ask myself how it has come to a point where my self-worth is defined by Birdsite. Well, here we are.Maybe I'll be able to extract myself, maybe not. We shall see.

@Memeghnad yeah. Giving so much control to a platform over one's life is dangerous. May be a good detoxification for all us.

@Memeghnad @Deepsealioness Precisely why one should have atleast an alternate platform. At least a place where some of us remain connected if at all twitter decides to take control and ban..

@naukarshah @Memeghnad I'm so happy people are wanting control of their digital lives and rights.This should have be the norm from the get go but I guess we only learn from bad experiences and time.Diaspora should be promoted alongside for the facebook crowd.

@bull500 @naukarshah @Memeghnad The other option is mewe. Tim Berners Lee sits in the board and seem quite interesting.

@naukarshah @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness Sir what if Govt decide to ban Mastodon all-together. Not everyone is aware of VPN's and Tor!

@yatinsinghThey will have to ban whole internet as people can keep creating new services when one gets banned. It will be a bit inconvenient for sure, but it cannot be blocked fully without blocking the whole internet.@naukarshah @Memeghnad @Deepsealioness

@Memeghnad I guess after Orkut I always assume a platform would go bust the next day :) even sites like Youtube, LinkedIn etc are vulnerable.

@Memeghnad that’s how they take control over, I read a book on surveillance capitalism by Shoshana zuboff. You will come to know how social media not only controls but also influence the behaviour

@Memeghnad The more you have, the more you've got to lose.@sanjayuvacha had 98k followers, I believe.And then suddenly, digital "assassination".

@Memeghnad hence self hosted blogs. That’s the only medium where you are the owner. I have been screaming this since forever. Any social media platform including this is someone else’s property
