Honestly floored at how many open-source projects don’t even HAVE a Mastodon presence. Like, I get it, you need a social media presence where your users are (and at least a presence on the big, billionaire-owned platforms to at LEAST have a hedge against copycats/scammers), but at least HAVE one there. And have a Lemmy community! Yoof.

Same best approach would be to just have a presence on legacy social media and the open source people social media
I don’t understand why any brand is on it. I ran a big brand account on tech product and there almost zero conversion rates coming from Twitter despite thousands of likes and views.
Twitter is mostly bots and grifters and only product you can grow there has to be for bots and grifters.
What took so long?!
They have been on Mastodon for many years already. As for why it takes so long to leave Twitter I guess it’s the same reason as everyone else - giving up on reaching the people there seems like a big loss to some.
based as hell
So fetch
My dad is a 60 year old warehouse manager and ex highschool-principal.
I recently found that he prefers using libreoffice at work for spreadsheets.
I did a test with a group of gen z on my work (I’m the IT guy) that never used excel before (Or used only once), and most of them liked libreoffice. The only detail was the ones that used Excel before, i change the interface to the microsoft one, but they did not liked. So they ask for the original from microslop…
Yeah they’re open-source minded, this totally aligns with their ideals. Good for them.
Yayy infact most OSSs should switch
Let’s gooooo!!! Also hoping we can get gif support on Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc. Would he a tiny yet massive way to make the platforms more interactive. Each community can enable or disable gifs as an option and allow users to disable gif’s completely. That would be a good way to have it
Libreoffice is great !
Just a logical consequence, other will follow.
And so should all the other OSS projects.
I mean if libre stuff is not getting off we cannot expect much from others but even this suggests they are reducing their xitter activity which is likely the way to go. Do a minimal on it to keep the recognition and expansively post in the federation.
In the replies to that twitter post libreoffice made so many people were crashing out lmao their either saying “are you on bluesky or x and y platform ” and libreoffice says “yes we are” others saying that libreoffices voice will be lowered because they are not . . . Screaming into the void that is twitter , one calls mastodon fascist another calls it communist many are complaining about the instance that libreoffice is on ( even though they can choose another one ) the echo chamber web of twitter is COOKED .
Legendary!
Good for them. LibreOffice is a decent replacement for Microsoft. LibreOffice comes standard on most Linux distros
