Interesting distinction. Is Mastodon a social network or social media?

Whatever instance you're on, throw a little coin their way to help with this massive influx of new users. I'm contributing to mastodon.social at patreon.com/mastodon
This would be a good time to stop logging in to other sites using your Twitter credentials. On Twitter, check More > Settings and Support > Settings and Privacy > Security and account access > Connected accounts
A friend on Twitter asks if there's a social media platform for older people. Anyone know of a Mastodon instance for #seniors ? @Miss_Dazey
If you have accounts on both Twitter and Mastodon, consider using an automated cross posting service. That way, you only have to post in one place and no one misses anything. I've been using crossposter.masto.donte.com.…
An unexpected side benefit of using Mastodon: getting followed back by people who I never would have expected it from on the bird site. Thanks 🐘[email protected] 🐘[email protected] 🐘[email protected]

Twitter 2FA via SMS seems to be working again, at least for downloading your archives. You should probably do that.
My version of "why did I come into this room": Why did I open this tab? #seniortechmoment
If you use 2FA on your Twitter account, make sure that you're using an Authenticator app and NOT a code sent by email or text. That service appears to have been shut down. My $.02: Seems like they might want to turn it back on.

Waiting a long time to get an auth code to download my Twitter data. Perhaps this is one of the services they turned off (or a lot of people are doing it right now).

Could a social media platform that intentionally slows the spread of information make us all relax a little bit?

I compared reach and reaction on Twitter & Mastodon. Picked a subject typical of my feed and reworded it to be native for Mastodon. Same link, issue, people, tone.
With 309 K followers on Twitter it got 81 RT and 179 likes
With 8.5 K followers on Mastodon: 123 RT and 195 likes.
Just finished adding #GA4 streams to 64 websites. I think I'll take the rest of the day off.
While the meaning of a blue checkmark is completely unclear at this point, I can tell you exactly what this green checkmark means: I can modify the website it links to. That is all and it should be enough. @gfalken@mastodon.social

Is #Mastodon a viable alternative to Twitter? I dunno but I'm a sucker for decentralized systems and a Utopian vision. So I'm taking time on a Saturday to check it out. You can too. mastodon.social/invite/Ev8nG…

Good luck Elon, you're going to need it.
