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.

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.
Legendary!
Libreoffice is great !
Yeah they're open-source minded, this totally aligns with their ideals. Good for them.
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.
Thank you!
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)

What took so long?!
Yayy infact most OSSs should switch
And so should all the other OSS projects.
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.

Awesome!
Just a logical consequence, other will follow.
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!

Good for them. LibreOffice is a decent replacement for Microsoft. LibreOffice comes standard on most Linux distros
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.

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.
