(1/12) How I fell in love with social media & the EU, and made that my whole career, a thread.

@oelschle Ummm, hi! How do I do that?
@hpod16 @oelschle You self-verify by linking to a website that you control.
Instructions: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification
If these are too difficult, here's another guide by @FediTips https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-verify-my-account/

@hpod16 @oelschle you're supposed to add a tag to a webpage named in your profile. https://joinmastodon.org/verification
But I think the domain you're using is sort of a validation in itself
https://eupolicy.social/aboutI guess maybe @oelschle isn't aware of that.

@leanderlindahl @oelschle Ahh, well I'm here very much in a personal capacity so I cannot verify my account. Not a spokesperson, just someone who works with social media
sorry to disappoint -

(12/12) So that’s it for my little summary on a 10-year social media career in international politics. I like to say it’s a career that grew up with me. If I were a comic book character, this would be my origin story.
PS: My mom does think it’s a real job now.Back to the top of the thread: https://eupolicy.social/@hpod16/115957707831878119
@hpod16 Sorry. It's completely a side issue, but what eventually convinced your mom?
(In a previous generation, my dad as an old-school civil servant doing admin never really grasped my work in politics and policy.) -
Thank you. But there is written „for people working in areas that are (at least loosely) related to EU policy“. Otherwise, it would of course be difficult, because the instance gives the impression of being official.

@leanderlindahl I took for granted that @oelschle was kidding. I mean, what does "upvote" even mean here?!

(In a previous generation, my dad as an old-school civil servant doing admin never really grasped my work in politics and policy.)@Tony_Meredith I just think all people take social media jobs more seriously now, not only my mom. But she probably especially likes the fact that I have a stable income and don't borrow money from my parents anymore

@hpod16 Thank you for such an enjoyable and complete presentation! -

@tizianomattei @oelschle @leanderlindahl I thought he was about to educate me on another mastodon feature I wasn't aware of - pls don't kid with me I'm gullible! It's day #3 on here!

@hpod16 Thank you for such an enjoyable and complete presentation!
@tizianomattei thank you thank you. I saw many people with introductory posts here, so this has been forming in my head all weekend... Really wanted to try out making a long Thread too.

@hpod16 @tizianomattei @oelschle in this context I'd say it means "like", or "favourite". But the real "upvote" would be to boost, so others can be made aware of the content.

(6/12) I joined Twitter in 2011, right after high school. I had time to kill, and I wanted to get creative on the internet. I also started a tumblr. God I miss early 2010s tumblr. Social media was just this silly thing, no one was making it their career. Influencers weren’t a thing yet. That’s also when I coined the handle I still use today: HPOD is actually an acronym for “Hamlet Prince of Denmark”, I was a bit of a theatre nerd in those days, and I was Hamlet in my last school play.
@hpod16 oh wow, that's interesting! I'd never have guessed! Thought the H was somehow connected to Hannah.

@leanderlindahl @tizianomattei @oelschle
Is there some way to see what the most popular posts on Mastodon are in a given week?
Asking because of the EU account, not my personal one. -

Asking because of the EU account, not my personal one.@hpod16 @tizianomattei @oelschle there's a whole bunch of statistics and "trending"-bots, but I don't have the answer let's hope someone else chimes in.
There's @murmel_social and @topstories but I think that's per 24h, not week. -

@leanderlindahl
Yeah, but the word seemed to me too "corporate" to be serious... but of course IDK
