@TQ @rixx @necrosis @vanecx Quick brainstorming:

#gomastodon #jointheherd #ditchtwitter #tokillabird #woollyweek

@blinry @vanecx @necrosis @TQ I really like #woollyweek, but I'm not sure it's as clear as #byebirdsite.

@rixx @blinry @vanecx @necrosis I'm team #byetwitter, as it's very loud and clear.

@TQ @rixx @blinry @vanecx
what about #500vs140
First it sounds strange. But every Twitter user will know what 140 means. 140 as a bottleneck.

Or #500isthenew140 ?

@necrosis @rixx @blinry @vanecx It might not be that important to the users. The sites differ in so many ways, and to me 500 characters was never that important.

@TQ @rixx @blinry @vanecx thats true. Most Twitter users did not want, that Twitter abolish the 140 limit.

@necrosis @TQ @rixx @blinry @vanecx

good point, I suggest #500cap140

@rixx @blinry @necrosis @TQ 2 hasthags should solve this issue : one to say you leave twitter, one to say you join mastodon (like a #byeTwitter #helloMastodon simply)

@vanecx @rixx @blinry @necrosis Great idea.

@TQ @vanecx @rixx @necrosis I agree! :)

@vanecx @rixx @blinry @TQ good idea. +1

@TQ @necrosis @blinry @rixx For the day, eventhoug I understand the "quick need" argument, there is one event next month : "On May 22, Twitter shareholders will vote on whether to investigate a radical proposal: Turning the social network into a cooperative owned by its users"

@necrosis @blinry @rixx Loool

@necrosis @rixx @TQ @blinry A few observations : "ditch" is more difficult to understand for non-english speakers than "bye", so I'd recommend a simple "byeTwitter" hashtag. Also, what about deciding of one day in, let's say, one month? So people can take time to inform everyone and save their contacts etc (and the hashtag & date will have time to be known here&there). My 2 cents.

@vanecx @necrosis @TQ @blinry

I'd still like to keep "birdsite" in there. I like the sound of "ditch", but I think that #byebirdsite could also work (yay alliteration!)

In my experience, announcing a hard cut works best (and then not checking back to re-tweet stuff as I do atm >.<). Doesn't need to be forever, but going for a week is a very clear signal.

@vanecx Good thoughts, thank you! @necrosis @rixx @blinry
