It’s been almost a year since I stopped using Twitter on a regular basis. It was a big change given how large a role Twitter played in my professional life – connecting with public servants across Canada and around the world and learning from their experiences. Now that it’s 2023 and Twitter is both crumbling apart and morally suspect, I think we should make Mastodon our new community. If you’re at FWD50 this year either in person or virtually, I’d love to see you on Mastodon!| sboots.ca
Over the past few weeks I’ve gradually been migrating from Twitter to Mastodon, an open-source, federated social network. You can find me there at @sboots@mastodon.sboots.ca. (In early January I moved to an individual instance – Gersande La Flèche has a great overview of that here, and the Fedi.Tips feed has useful instructions on how to migrate an existing account between instances.) If you’d like to learn how to migrate from Twitter to Mastodon, Patricia Aas has an introductory guide...| Sean Boots
