The Newsmast Foundation was created in response to misinformation and the oppression of marginalised communities and expert voices on Big Tech social media.
In light of the U.S. election results, those communities are more at risk than ever.

The week is over, here are some charts:
For two weeks in a row, #Mastodon brought more #traffic than #X / #Twitter to heise.de.
But I forgot, that's not just via @heiseonline, but also @heisec, @ct_Magazin, @heiseautos, @iX_Magazin etc. (but for Twitter its the same).
#Bluesky is way behind, #Threads even more. Only Twitter is clearly falling.

Hey, folks from what was once called Twitter! My fedi tip is: follow hashtags. You can search for hashtags of interest and then follow them just like you can follow any account. Your timeline will fill up quickly if you do that, and then you can start to follow interesting people in the timeline.
For example, some of the hashtags I follow include #blackmastodon, #mutualaid, and #canpoli, among others.
I've found that I can get news just as fast here as folks on #X.
If you’ve just left Twitter/X welcome! You’ve come to the right place.
There is no algorithm here so we encourage lots of following and “retweeting”. You can also follow #hashtags as well.
Posts are sometimes called toots. Retweets are sometimes called boosts or retoots.
If you want people to follow you, be sure to have a profile picture, something in your description about you, and some engagement: posts, comments, stars, boosts. People also usually do a post that is an introduction to them (be sure to use a hashtag, #introduction) and it can help to pin that to your profile so people can boost it.
One thing we always try to do is add alt text to images for multiple reasons, you can read about that here:

Many of us (all?) are grieving the US election now so comedy is appreciated.
Exactly two years ago, we started to post links on #Mastodon via our account @heiseonline 👇
mastodon.social/@heiseonline/1…
It took longer, than I expected, but here we are: it seems like this account now brings continuously more #traffic to heise.de than #X (#Twitter) in its entirety, although it only has ÂĽ of the follower number (and many of them don't seem to be active anymore).
I'll prepare some graphs after the weekend.

If you want to remove your X account but are worried that someone might register your username later, do this:
1. Open 2 different browsers in their private windows
2. In the first browser: Log in to your Twitter account.
3. In the second browser, go through the account creation process, add something like "Deactivated" as a name. Skip everything else.
4. On both: Navigate to Settings and privacy.
5. Under Your account, select Account information.
6. Update your Username to something different.
7. Save the changes.
8. Immediately rename the other "Deactivated" user name to your own username.
9. Take a full data backup
10. Continue on deactivating the real now renamed user.
By altering your username and email, your original handle becomes available for immediate use so you can register it to yourself as an "empty shell" account.
I just proofed these instructions working by finally deactivating my account. Haven't posted anything this year.
I will not spend any thought ever again to Truth Social, Gab, X and dark onion websites. They are all the same - not healthy for anyone. Please leave now.
#X #SocialMedia #Twitter #Xitter
After last night, staying on #X means you trust that Elon Musk will not hand over your posts and personal details to whatever Trumpian agency wants them.
For example, Musk could build a list of DC/VA/MD residents who use specific anti-Trump hashtags, then identify and retaliate against any that are federal employees.
There are no battles to be won there. I'm wiping my account this morning.
It's time for charities and for-good organisations to ditch X - a platform which helped grow and fund the Trump campaign - and move to alternatives where they aren't at the mercy of a single persons politics.
As a start, we're excited to be featured as an organisation which can help in this @BylineTimes article
There's a lot of hard work to be done, but we like hard work. Hard work is good work.

Elon Musk May Be An Illegal Immigrant!
Musk Could Have US Citizenship Revoked If He Lied on Immigration Forms
The richest man in the world appears to have worked in the US without authorization. According to experts, if he did so and lied about it as part of the immigration process, he could be denaturalized.
