#birdsite — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #birdsite, aggregated by home.social.

  1. So, one of my highlights on the #BirdSite was being the FIRST account boosted by #Wikileaks . Yup. I'm definitely on the FBI's radar (still)...

    #AllComeTrue #Activism #ProtestUntilItsIllegal and then even more!

  2. No plans to use it, but the new #birdsite is very funny (like anything that annoys certain people):

    I think my problem is that I might actually be more cynical than the people loudly complaining about it, although the lack of consistency is kind of annoying.

    Here's the #DistroWatch top 15:

    I mean... what the flaming gehenna, already. 🤦‍♂️

    And any that don't will most likely have facebook and/or insta accounts, and that's almost just as bad.

  4. @alice Shoebills are on X for sure. Kookaburas are on TikTok. Frogmouths are on fedi.

    #BirdSite

  5. What social media platform would birds use?

    Seagulls would *totally* still be on X.

    I could see robins on Facebook.

    #BirdSite

  6. #Georgia Senator #JonOssoff introduces his #Republican opponent in the #GAsen race during the #midterms thusly: “#MikeCollins is a bigot and an antisemite under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars.”

    Watch on the #birdsite :birdsite: 👉x.com/atrupar/status/207094675

    #Resist with #ElbowsUp 💪!
    #USpol

  7. American author #AmySiskind on the #Birdsite :birdsite:, where #MAGA morons will see it: “Trump is embarrassing our entire country with his gross incompetence, losing to and being outmaneuvered by a two-bit evil regime on the brink of bankruptcy. What a humiliation!”

    Stop the #FelonsCrusade in #Iran.
    #Resist #kakistocracy in #USpol.

  8. WTF is happening on X.com? Why is my website flagged? It's just an Open Source project. What did I do wrong?

    abject.world

  9. Stop posting directly on #Twitter / #BirdSite. Let's stipulate it's somehow a meaningful pipeline to the #American people. I don't think so, but whatever. Make a post on @[email protected] then use the "share" feature & post that to Twitter with some good hashtags. Stop enriching #ElonMusk. For fuck's sake

    bsky.app

  10. Well, it finally happened. Twitter has suspended my account, likely because in November 2022 I changed the display name of my account to "[email protected]." I haven't used it since, except to login every once in a while to keep the account from being reused by bots. Oh the irony in that the account was suspended for: "Violating our rules against inauthentic behaviors."

    And so it goes

    #birdsite #itisover

  11. #faceplace is turning into #birdsite . rage bait and just a couple smatterings of something a friend did 3 months ago.

    #random

  12. Well that was fun.

    For those who didn't see the shenanigans on #birdsite - turns out my router was garbage. You know, the one the ISP said was _required_ to use their network? It was trash and killing my connection.

    Pulled it and ran from the ONT straight to my Eero and had network just fine. But all of my NUCs are hardwired ... so needed a new TP-Link router in front of my 1GB switch before I could get k8s back online.

    So glad to have things live again.

  13. Projects, companies, or YouTube channels that still link to a "Twitter" account are doing their users and the internet a gross disservice.

    Twitter is gone. It no longer exists. There is X, a fascist propaganda and GenAI revenge porn site, that happened to buy Twitter's database before shutting it down. But that's not Twitter.

    Giving X any karma or nostalgia because Musk bought Twitter's user database before destroying it is foolhardy and dangerous, and irresponsible.

    #birdsite #twitter #x

  14. When I abandoned the #BirdSite, I went with here, of course, and #BlueSky - mostly for work.
    However, as I find people finding their feet on BlueSky, I also highlight #Mastodon and Mastodon.ie in particular.
    People seem to appreciate it. If #Mastodaoine are on other platforms, similar direction might be appreciated.

  15. Remember, these clowns didn’t test this feature properly nor stop it once they saw what it was doing.
    It was only AFTER threats of blocking / fines that they have “mostly” disabled it.

    Utterly fucking gross.

    Anyone who uses X or Grok is flagging they’re fine with all this.

    Mar-a-Lago insider #Fuentes even posted on the #birdsite :birdsite: “This election proves that women should not have the right to vote.” #USpol #RoevemberIsComing

  18. 📰 Za #HFPC na #birdsite:

    "Zatrzymanie aktywistów Ostatniego Pokolenia na wiecu Tuska było nielegalne

    Sąd uznał, że zatrzymanie aktywistów Ostatniego Pokolenia przez Policję podczas wiecu zorganizowanego przez Koalicję Obywatelską w czerwcu na Placu Zamkowym w Warszawie było nielegalne, niezasadne i nieprawidłowe.

    „Sąd za niedopuszczalne ocenił działania Policji, które polegały na prewencyjnym pozbawianiu możliwości uczestniczenia w zgromadzeniu. Swoboda wyrażania poglądów, w tym tych krytycznych względem władzy, ma istotne znaczenie w społeczeństwie demokratycznym” – mówi adw. Jarosław Jagura, prawnik współpracujący z HFPC, który był pełnomocnikiem zatrzymanych aktywistów Ostatniego Pokolenia."

  19. 📰 Za PatrykSlowik na #birdsite:

    "Szef międzynarodowego koncernu tytoniowego wchodzi do gabinetu wicepremiera. Rozmawia z wicepremierem i dwoma wiceministrami nie wiadomo o czym, wicepremier nie mówi publicznie o spotkaniu, nie ma żadnej wzmianki na ten temat na rządowych stronach. Akurat w tym czasie trwają prace nad nowelizacją ustawy antynikotynowej, którą trzeba przyjąć jako wykonanie unijnej dyrektywy. Wejście w życie tej ustawy bardzo zaszkodzi interesom koncernów tytoniowych.
    Współpracownicy wicepremiera starają się jednak uniemożliwić przyjęcie ustawy, wyżej stawiając interes koncernów tytoniowych niż zdrowie obywateli.
    Wicepremier nawet nie musi się z tego tłumaczyć. Udaje, że temat nie istnieje.
    Polska 2024."

  20. Oh dang! Musk changed Twitter’s algorithm to prioritize his tweets and make sure they’re at the top of everyone’s feed. So glad I left! apple.news/ATKYCgatHSOq3O74_Sa

    Also interesting insight into how European countries hold the power to stop Musk.

  24. #Greenblatt called #Musk’s threat of a #lawsuit#frivolous” & said Musk’s behavior was #reckless & #dangerous, coming 2 weeks ahead of the #Jewish High Holidays.
    
The Forward, a daily Jewish publication, has since recently started a running list of Musk’s “disturbing comments.”

    Every employment lawyer on the planet watching Elon disclose an employee's disability, claim he's faking it, and state it was part of why he was fired.

  27. I'm #curious about something...
    I've been getting a fair amount of #connection #requests here on #Mastodon from people on the far far far left, and almost none from the right, or the far right, or even the far far right.
    Now, I'm pretty clear (or so I think, anyway) that I do not care to associate with extremists from either side.
    #Fiscally, I'm #conservative - in the sense that I don't believe we should spend money we don't have.
    #Regarding #people, I'm pretty #center-of-the-road, maybe #leaning a bit #left. I believe that everyone, regardless of their choices (or not-choices), should have the same rights as everyone else, and be able to live in peace, as long as they're not causing direct harm to anyone else.
    I am, therefore, confused as to why people whose default mode of #communication involves #NameCalling, #VirtueSignaling, #condmenation of #otherism, and #looking for #fights would want to connect with me. I do not wish to associate with people who only wish to further divide this country with their #shortsighted #selfimportant #diatribe and #hatemongering .
    If I have ideas that are different from theirs, or try to ask questions about their stance and point of view, all that will happen is they will turn around and block me, then report me for doing <InsertEvilThingHere> when all I was doing was clarifying their position so I know how to continue consideration of their position.
    It's happened far too many times in the past.
    Fist off, #Folks, #Mastodon isn't #Birdsite or #Twitter. Your hate-filled rants really don't belong here, in my opinion. That's what #Twitter and #FaceBook and #Instagram are for.
    This is supposed to be a place where ideas can be exchanged, discussed, and mulled without fear of condemnation - where someone isn't attacked for their thoughts, or for asking questions.
    There's a Mister Badger (with a number after it) who is an example of this. This person's obvious hatred of anyone who isn't as far Left (I believe they call it "progressive", but that's for another post and another time) as they are is palpably obvious based on their posts. I'm NOT that far left, (not even close) and would almost certainly be grouped in with Nazis and Klansjerks by this person.
    So why did they reach out with a connection request? I don't know. Maybe they're looking for a new victim to browbeat so they can feel morally superior? Maybe they think that if I see enough hatred of <insert any group here> I'll start to feel the same? (That's the same tactic used by WS groups, Nazis, and the Klan, by the way...)
    I'm just unsure of the motives, there, and that's why I rejected that connection. I've rejected others for similar reasons.
    Perhaps I need to re-visit my profile and make it clear that I don't support hate, no matter which side of which aisle it comes from.

  28. Dear #lazyweb (#lazyverse?): is Post part of the #Fediverse? I thought maybe it was, but I couldn’t find anything to confirm that.

  29. CW: #Business #Independent #SmallBusinessOwnership#Birdsite #Musk #SpaceKaren #TSLA

    Waking up to seeing #SpaceKaren mocking pronouns on the #Birdsite and having all his #Stans excitedly cheer him on (as well as some folks who are a genuine threat to democracy like #MTG)... and seeing him call for the prosecution of #Faucci, has made me reach a #breakingPoint.

    We're #SpaceX #Starlink customers - because we live ~7 miles from the nearest cable Internet service.

    I just unplugged #Dishy.

  30. @ij @ellby94 welcome, Lacey!
    IJ has excellent recs in #hashtags . Also - this page is super helpful : fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-
    It is a long post for sure, but you can scroll through to find the topics you may need. The topics about doing an #introduction and #pinning it, plus #AltText and how and when to use the #CW feature were very helpful for me because it it definitely different than the #Birdsite. I #Bookmarked the page to refer to whenever I have a question.
    Happy #Tooting!

  31. Happy Friday, beautiful people!
    It sounds like it’s all going to pot on the #birdsite - hardly surprising when you hand the keys to a Ferrari to an overindulged toddler.
    Whatever happens, this is a calmer, and more pleasant place to be.
    As an old friend once said, ‘everything happens for a reason’. The challenge is usually identifying and understanding the reason.
    Wishing you #peace and #positivity , friends

  32. Remember, unlike the #birdsite, your #actions directly #influence the #toots we all see on #Mastodon.

    You and your #hashtags are #TheAlgorithm!

    If you enjoy a toot, clicking #favourite lets the author know. But the #BOOST button is the way to allow your #followers, and those on your local #instance, to have the chance of enjoying it too.

    And if you want others to discover your toots in their #searches, make sure #KeyWords in your toots are #hashtagged.
