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 .
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
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.
It's even worse to see open sources projects use Discord for communication (looking at you, Bazzite)
Same best approach would be to just have a presence on legacy social media and the open source people social media
Amazing to see Mastodon instead of Bluesky there ! Too many people falling for the Bluesky trap...
Yeah, I'm surprised how many go to Bluesky. It's just Twitter all over again, controlled by a single company.


What is the social media name of clown Zuck? I feel old
Threads.
Also instagram should be shown there too as its owned by facebook.
....and also Whatscrap
It wasn't the "controlled by a single company" part that made me leave Twitter, honestly. It was the Nazi CEO...
that's the best part, just as twitter was sold to a nazi bluesky can be sold to a nazi too!
that's what can happen when it is controlled by a single company
The thing that make them move to Bluesky, its Elon, not the federation (Which is a shame tbh)
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.

They were on mastodon since 2019, its a shift away from twitter. Edit: spell
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.
Yeah they're open-source minded, this totally aligns with their ideals. Good for them.
based as hell
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.
LibreOffice does, what politicians are too scared to do.
Release the Epstein files?
Hehe, unfortunately not. But maybe you can read them soon with their brilliant software!
Yayy infact most OSSs should switch
Give them a follow at @libreoffice@fosstodon.org to show them support!
Edit: I tried to search how to create the link, but couldn't find the right info, so would appreciate any insight. But you should be able to search in Mastodon for them.
Easy, open your Mastodon instance, put in the searchbar there the instance from LibreOffice. After this it will appear in your feed where you can click on the follow button. Done


Libreoffice is great !
I'm still flabergasted by the fediverse sometimes. I search for libreoffice in my mastodon client and one of the results is "libreoffice@lemmy.ml" and even a peertube instance.
And so should all the other OSS projects.
Just a logical consequence, other will follow.
Legendary!
