When I quit Twitter

Not yet, but almost. People are leaving Twitter’s timeline. It means I’m losing various reasons to stay on its timeline.

This is not just Twitter’s death. It is the death of SNS.

I came up with fancy iOS features, screen time, and focus mode. I haven’t tried it seriously since it was released, however. I struggled to make my own filters to reduce my screen time for a couple of hours. Thus, I could finally forget about social networks, including Twitter.

I don’t need Twitter as my input source these days, but I still want to keep posting my thoughts to distribute my ideas as records. But Twitter is not enough for that purpose. I need more options.
So I am playing with Mastodon and Nostr as other options.

Multi-posting is not the top priority for me. Cos each social network has its own culture and context. My current passion is to join multiple communities instead of relying on just one giant platform.

Decentralization is coming to our social media

Mastodon must have been getting more users since a few days ago due to Twitter’s policy update, or downgrade, in other words.

I am optimistic about this situation.

More people on Twitter, even Japanese speakers, can jump into the Mastodon world. I doubt we all in the same Twitter timeline can meet again at Mastodon, but it is the new norm. We don’t need to use a single giant platform, as we have accepted without any doubt in the last decade.

This is also a massive step towards web3. We’re on the way. Distributed and decentralized, but have no barrier.

How can I handle multiple social platforms? Here is my workflow


We have too many places to update our status or pictures recently. The latest web innovations made us easy to connect to the world but at a time, it gave us too many options.
We’re in a complicated situation again. But I believe we stepped forward, and got a lot more opportunities with the huge innovations.
So I tried to make 3 steps to make things clear. My goal is to find out how I can use multiple social platforms efficiently without extra effort. I hope this post helps you to find your own way to connect to the new social world.

Speeding Up Social Medias And What's Next in 2011?

Instagram got a million users. But the important part is here:

It took Foursquare just over a year to get a million users. It took Twitter about two years. Instagram? They accomplished the feat in less than three months.

Sounds cool. I’m not an Instagram addict but the result told us that their social strategy works well.

Unlinked Foursquare and Twitter due to this

Word of the year

Japan post service launched Twitter analyzer which picks up you the most tweeted word of the year. The service only can understand Japanese though.
My result is the screenshot above. That’s my tweeted words ranking.
The result tells me one thing. Most of my tweeted Japanese are location related words and it means most of my Japanese tweets are came from Foursquare. What a boring tweet I made!
So I changed my mind and unlinked Foursquare and Twitter to stop to make noises anymore. Anyway, I keep using Foursquare and post my location to Facebook wall.
