RE: gruene.social/@netzbegruenung/

Im Unterschied zu #Deutschland ist die Verteilung in #Österreich ziemlich durchmischt und X noch in einer etwas stärkeren Position. Im Gegensatz zu Deutschland kann man in Österreich vermutlich noch eindeutig von Microblogging-Marktführer X/Twitter sprechen.

Gibt es schon ein Blogverzeichnis von Menschis, die was zu sagen haben und auch sonst hier im Fediverse unterwegs sind oder muss ich mich darum kümmern?

Fändet ihr so etwas sinnvoll?

Guten Morgen ,

man kann sich kaum entscheiden... oder ? 🤔

Irgendwie lässt sich mein Bekanntenkreis von keinem der drei Dienste begeistern.
Zu wenig Bilder? 📸👀
Zu wenig Kontakte? 🫂

Wie ist eure Erfahrung?

People Don’t Know How to Actually Have Conversations on Social Media

I think the major breakdown with microblogging is that people don’t actually want to have conversations. I honestly don’t know what the fuck people want, but they don’t want to have dialogues with people—that’s for certain. Microblogging is a format that was specifically designed around how dialogue works. You say something, a person responds, and then you respond to that. It is not a monologue. You tacitly, implicitly, or even explicitly invite others into the conversation.

Specifically, microblogging is intended to simulate a call-and-response interaction. My husband was a theater kid, and we met when he was doing Rocky Horror Picture Show stuff. Call-and-response is really big with that. My husband is now a stocky, gruff, Southern blue-collar guy, but when we first met, he was a theatre kid, lol.

With microblogging formats and protocols, the “call” is the post itself. It might be a statement, a question, or a quick observation. Someone might write, “I think cats are better than dogs,” ask, “What’s the best way to learn Python?” or just admit, “Just spilled coffee on my keyboard.” The visibility of the post makes it possible for others to react or respond.

The “response” is any reply to that post. It could be agreement (“Totally, cats rule!”) or disagreement (“Dogs are way better”). It could also add context (“You might like this cat trick video”) or include a personal aside (“I had the same accident last week!”). The important part is that the reply depends on the original post. Without the post, there’s nothing to respond to. This dependency is what makes the exchange conversational rather than standalone.

This is structurally intended to create a back-and-forth thread. One person posts, someone replies, and the original poster responds. Others may then jump in. A typical exchange might start with “I love cats more than dogs,” followed by “Really? Dogs are more loyal,” and then, “I get that, but cats are independent and funny.” Someone else might add, “Cats do have better personalities for small apartments.” That sequence—post, reply, counter-reply—is essentially how everyday conversation goes.

Nowadays, people often use microblogging platforms to rant incoherently. These rants usually focus on whatever crisis they are in or whatever thing they are outraged about today.

Then they turn around and complain that they are not getting engagement. It’s like going on a date with someone where they talk about themselves for the entire date. They ask you nothing about you and then get upset that you are not participating in a conversation about them that makes no room for you. The lack of engagement is because they are creating a space others cannot participate in. They’re not actually interested in speaking with people. They want affirmation and validation.

What prompted this was me going through a few people’s profiles on Mastodon and Bluesky. The norm is random, incoherent, incomprehensible bursts of rants, random political shares, and compulsive likes of porn. When people reply, there is no meaningful back-and-forth. On the reply side of things, people who weren’t implicitly invited to reply are ranting in other people’s threads. You have people who create multiple threads containing rambling rants that don’t prompt any type of engagement outside of maybe shares, and then you have people barging into others’ threads with a rant of their own, unprompted, because they were served the thread and compulsively had to reply.

The insane thing is that everyone ends up believing the solution is to create yet another social media platform that imports the same problematic cultural schema. I don’t know what people want—but they don’t want to speak with each other in a conversation, that’s for certain. They hate conversing with one another so much that they’d rather talk to LLMs.

For example, this is shared through a social networking protocol (i.e., ActivityPub) such that microblogging software can access it. However, I am using blogging software (i.e., WordPress), and this is a blog post. It’s tacitly not intended to be a dialogue, though there is an implicit invitation for comments. I myself am probably not interested in your responses or reactions. That is why this is a well-thought-out blog post and not me incoherently ranting about the news. I haven’t formed a parasocial relationship with every politician who is consequential to my life. Most largely influential people who engage with media as part of their profession aren’t handling their own social media. As a result, these unhinged people aren’t talking to whoever they think they are.

I think there is a mismatch between the specifications of the format and people’s expectations. Your dark night of the soul moments should go in a space that is meant for random, chaotic screaming.

#Grok vom #ElonMusk- Unternehmen #xAI sorgte in den vergangenen Wochen für negative Schlagzeilen, als bekannt wurde, dass mit der #KI massenhaft sexualisierte Bilder und Videos von echten Personen erstellt wurden, teilweise auch von Minderjährigen. Nachdem sich die #EUKommission zu diesem Thema zunächst zurückgehalten hat, will man nun mit aller Härte gegen den #Microblogging-Dienst #X und den dort nutzbaren KI-#Chatbot von Grok vorgehen.

Frage | Wikipedia - Was haben rechtsradikale/rechtsextreme Plattformen wie 'Truth Social' oder 'Parler' mit dem Libertarismus und seinen Werten zu tun?


Eben habe ich wegen was anderen den Microblogging Artikel von Wikipedia auf gehabt und lese dort dann folgendes:

dann habe ich mir den Spaß gemacht und auf den Link zum Artikel Libertarismus (libertär) geöffnet. und stieß dort unter anderen auf folgendes:

Nun frage ich mich freilich was sie klar rechtsradikalen/rechtsextremen Plattformen 'Truth Social' und 'Parler' mit libertär und den oben erwähnten Werten zu tun haben sollen.

Weiß es jemand von Euch?

#Frage #Wikipedia #Microblogging #Truthsocial #Parler #LIbertarismus #Libertär #2026-01-24 @fragfeddit

2018 wurde die US-amerikanische Mikroblogging-Plattform Parler gegründet. 2021 gründete US-Präsident Donald Trump die Mikroblogging-Plattform Truth Social, um eine eigene Alternative zu Twitter zu etablieren, nachdem er dort dauerhaft gesperrt wurde. Parler und Truth Social werden hauptsächlich von libertären, rechtskonservativen und rechtsextremen Nutzern genutzt.Truth Social basiert auf dem quelloffenen Programmcode von Mastodon.Der Libertarismus (von französisch libertaire „freiheitsliebend“; von lateinisch libertas „Freiheit“) ist eine politische Philosophie und Bewegung, die in der individuellen Freiheit den höchsten politischen Wert sieht. Libertäre versuchen, Autonomie und politische Freiheit zu maximieren, und betonen freie Assoziation, Wahlfreiheit, Individualismus und freiwillige Vereinigung.

Threads supera a X en usuarios activos diarios por primera vez

Nuevos datos de mercado confirman un cambio de guardia en el sector del microblogging. Threads, la plataforma de Meta, ha logrado superar a X (anteriormente Twitter) en número de usuarios móviles diarios, consolidando su crecimiento y aprovechando la migración de audiencias que buscan un entorno menos polarizado (Fuente Similarweb).

Lo que parecía un desafío imposible hace un año es hoy una realidad estadística. Según un informe reciente publicado por firmas de análisis de datos móviles, Threads ha alcanzado una cifra de usuarios activos diarios (DAU) superior a la de X en dispositivos móviles. Este marca la primera vez que un competidor directo logra arrebatarle el liderazgo a la plataforma de Elon Musk desde su adquisición, evidenciando que la estrategia de Meta de integrar Threads con Instagram y mejorar su versión de escritorio ha dado frutos.

El crecimiento de Threads se ha visto impulsado por una serie de factores clave: la introducción de funciones de búsqueda avanzada, la llegada de los «Trending Topics» y, sobre todo, una política de moderación más estricta que ha atraído a anunciantes y usuarios que abandonaron X debido al aumento de contenido controvertido. Mientras X sigue enfocado en un modelo de suscripción y libertad de expresión absoluta, Threads ha sabido capturar al usuario promedio que busca una experiencia más similar al «Twitter clásico» pero con la infraestructura técnica de Meta.

A pesar de este hito, la batalla está lejos de terminar. X todavía mantiene una base de usuarios muy leal en sectores específicos como la política y las noticias de última hora, además de contar con una mayor presencia en la web de escritorio en ciertas regiones. Sin embargo, la tendencia es clara: la inercia del mercado móvil favorece a Threads, y este cambio en el ranking podría desencadenar un nuevo éxodo de marcas que buscan mayor alcance y estabilidad para sus campañas publicitarias en 2026.

Ustedes que opinan? los leemos en comentarios.

Es geht darum, dass Mastodon nicht die einzige Software für #Microblogging im #Fediverse ist und es geht um Kritik, warum der Fokus ständig nur auf Mastodon gerichtet ist. @padeluun @Trojaner @kontrollierterWahnwitz
