About the event
Social Movement Technologies is holding the training event Mastodon: How-to for activists, organizations, movements and journalists – over two sessions in on Jan 31st and Feb 1st, 2023, at 4pm Brussels time on both days.
In session 1, we cover:
- Recommendations on how to select the right instance (Mastodon server) for your needs
- How to find and activate your people on Mastodon
- Strategic considerations on how to approach it in relation to your Twitter account
- A workflow for building Mastodon into your activist pipeline, including the use of hashtags, lists, direct messaging and more
- Key differences between Mastodon and Twitter features that impact how we might want to use the tool
- Cultural protocols on the platform
- Several extensions and nifty tools that we think are especially useful
Session 2 is an advanced session for movements and organizations exploring setting up their own Mastodon community site. Guests will include groups that have done so sharing important considerations.
This training is a collaboration between Open Rights Group and SMT. If you have experience and are willing to share, it’s welcome!
