Calling others lazy and meme scrollers is not very civil. One of the reasons #socialmedia users are not flocking to Masto is that it seems like a silo stocked with smug, self-satisfied stalwarts who make empty appeals to self-evidence as if their hubris is enough to convince. Iāve been here for years and I know that this place is not the Xanadu true believers make it out to be. Absent any serious options offered to me Iāll continue to get information wherever I can. I donāt gratuitously link #Substack, but I will link on occasion if I find specific content mutually beneficial, just like I link stuff from #Mastodon elsewhere.
It's an honour to announce that @jaz has joined the Newsmast Foundation as Commercial Advisor š

We can't wait to see how his experience helps us shape the future of Newsmast as we deliver our Apps for Change programme and help more communities join the Social Web.

I dumped my 30-hour content grind into Sleepy Post at 2AM, and by breakfast, it had auto-generated motion graphics, wrote and scheduled a month of original posts, and now it's posting indefinitely across 12+ platforms. I haven't touched a scheduler since, and my notifications are throwing a party! All while BTS is making waves with their new album this week talk about a vibe!

Australia is settling into age-restricted social media. Canada is mulling whether to join in
Nearly four months into Australia's landmark social media ban for users under 16, parent proponents laud it as a valiant first step towards a safer online experience for youth. Yet as other countries weigh introducing their own social age minimum, some continue to question bans as a solution.

I'm a Twitter Escapee, having abandoned the platform because it's owned and influenced by a Nazi.
I was once big on Twitter and Google Plus, as my active #SocialMedia accounts.
Those *Influencer Accounts* got me perks and gifts over the years, but limited social engagement. You can Auto-LIKE, and Auto-SHARE, bots do it all the time. If you don't speak, I won't see you.
Some of my followers go back to G+ days, and I had big accounts then. It's not about how many followers you have, it's about the quality of the followers, good content and conversation attract me. Endless Politics, Self-only posts, and emoji replies are not of interest to me.
Lots of writing space here, but I'll break the stories down into shorter segments.

A study showed that around „3.2 billion in advertisement revenue might have been lost in the span of one month due to the illegal streaming of Japanese TV shows on YouTube. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/23/japan/media/tv-programs-illegal-upload/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #media #socialmedia #youtube #facebook #advertising #media #television #japanesetv
