We've created another image for our campaign.
Share it where you can to help #universities make more use of the #Fediverse 🌻 and say goodbye to #X / #Twitter - just like many others already did.

Liebe Unterstützer:innen unserer Petition,
wir haben damit begonnen, erstes Bildmaterial für die Ausweitung der Kampagne #UnisInsFediverse auf anderen Kommunikationsplattformen zu erstellen. Denn obwohl wir viel Zuspruch aus den Hochschulen und von vielen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern erfahren, haben sich die Hochschulen noch nicht zur konsequenten Nutzung des Fediverse und zum Rückzug von X/Twitter entschlossen. Wir haben deshalb den Sammlungszeitraum für unsere Petition um drei Monate bis zum 5.7.24 verlängert.
Wer sich an der Ausweitung der Kampagne beteiligen möchte, findet erste Bilder unter „Neuigkeiten“ auf
www.openpetition.de/UnisInsFediverse (weitere folgen).
Es wäre toll, wenn Ihr die Bilder eifrig verbreiten könntet. Manche tragen bereits einen QR-Code und Ihr könnt Euren Freund:innen das Bild auf dem Smartphone zeigen, um sich gleich auf die Seite zu verlinken. Bei anderen bitte die URL/Internetadresse angeben wie oben genannt.
Erste Posts sind bereits auf LinkedIn zu besichtigen:

wo Ihr sie auch einfach teilen oder favorisieren könnt. Oder Ihr erstellt mit den Bildern eigene Posts. Wir sind auch nicht unglücklich, wenn die Bilder auf Instagram, Facebook, Reddit ... oder gar auf X/Twitter erscheinen. Macht sie bekannt, wo Ihr könnt und wo es Euch passend erscheint. Und lasst uns gerne URLs Eurer Posts wissen, so dass wir sie weiterverbreiten können.
Viel Erfolg dabei und vielen Dank für Euer Mittun. #Miteinander holen wir uns #UnserInternet zurück.
Viele Grüße

Unfortunately, there is no way to customize the interface here at OpenPetition, the platform on which we publish our appeal. Therefore, unfortunately, the share button for X (Twiter) is displayed in our petition - also here next to this news...
We understand if a supporter does not sign the appeal because the OpenPetition platform only provides the function for sharing comments on X and Meta platforms (facbook/WhatsApp). At the same time, we regret this very much, because every signature shows that we demand different, better social media, for universities, for other educational institutions, but also for all other institutions, organizations and companies.
We will work to ensure that the petition platform is further developed to this end and at least expanded to include a button for sharing on Fediverse.
Follow our channel @neuSoM@bewegung.social ( profile: bewegung.social/@neuSoM ) and you will find plenty of content to share in the Fediverse!

Wikimedia Deutschland @wikimediaDE@social.wikimedia.de is committed to free access to knowledge and education at all levels of society.
Regarding their value orientation, they say: "#participation, #diversity, free and open access, #justice, #sustainability and respectful collaboration - these #values are at the core of Wikimedia Deutschland."
In October last year, it became clear that X/Twitter no longer met these criteria: "After much deliberation, we decided to no longer communicate about the work of Wikimedia Deutschland on #X, formerly #Twitter."

A logical and responsible decision @wikimediaDE@social.wikimedia.de !
But not only that: since last week we also welcome @wikimediaDE to the group of supporting organizations of our action alliance.
Welcome @wikimediaDE@social.wikimedia.de !
We look forward to working with you to encourage the #universities for a better internet.

A number of universities have started to use Mastodon for their electronic communication. And the number of followers is steadily increasing. More and more Internet users want to use media that do not promote anti-democratic agitation and destruction. Because democracy thrives on the exchange of good arguments and not on knowingly disseminated false reports. Who should know this better than the universities?
The compilation shows their logos, which are linked directly to their accounts.
Feel free to share the image via LinkedIn, Insta etc. so that even more people know about Mastodon as the truly social medium.

Everyone is talking about the digital transformation.
Sounds good.
But what does that mean?
We, the New Social Media Action Alliance, understand it to mean the use of sustainable platforms that promote democracy.
But sometimes it's not easy to get there. Some people are willing but don't have the confidence to make the transition. That's why we're giving some tips on how to get started with Mastodon (the die-hard Mastodont already knows all of the following).
It starts with downloading the Mastodon app from the app store: it is quickly found, downloaded and installed from the two major providers.
After starting it, you have to enter your email address and the instance where the account should be located.
This initially strange request is due to the decentralized structure of Mastodon. There is not one large central server, but many different small ones, which are called instances.
Those who register with Mastodon for the very first time usually want to see what it's like and register with one of the regional servers and a good list can be found here: joinmastodon.org/en/servers
If it later appears that the right server was not chosen at the first attempt, this is not a problem. Because you can switch to another server at any time (taking all active and passive followers with you). So don't worry about the server selection: just start.
Once this dial-up process has been completed, you may receive further information here:
