#birdsite — Public Fediverse posts

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!

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:

1. CachyOS (Active)
2. Linux Mint (Active)
3. MX Linux (Active)
4. PopOS (Active)
5. Debian (Last post 2025, pinned comment about why they're not posting there anymore)
6. ZorinOS (Active)
7. Fedora Project (Last post 2024, no comment in bio about not posting, or why, but there's a mastodon link)
8. Ubuntu (Active)
9. EndeavourOS (Active)
10. Bazzite (Active)
11. Manjaro (Last post 2025-08-07, no mention in bio or pinned comment about why they're not posting)
12. Arch Linux (no X account)
13. AnduinOS (no X account)
14. PikaOS (no X account)
15. OpenSuSE (Active)

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.

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

What social media platform would birds use?

Seagulls would *totally* still be on X.

I could see robins on Facebook.

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

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

Welcome to German politicians from SPD, Grüne and Linke who have left X-Twitter.

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

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

#random

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.

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

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.

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.

Hey, on #Fedi is it still known as the Bird site?

📰 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."

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! https://apple.news/ATKYCgatHSOq3O74_Sal0hQ

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

After #Trump was booted from the #birdsite following the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection, 3 men played pivotal roles in building & promoting #TrumpMedia as an online challenger [🤣] against the “cancel culture” of #BigTech: #AndyLitinsky & #WesMoss, fmr “Apprentice” contestants who co-founded the company & launched Truth Social; & #PatrickOrlando, who as chief exec of #DWA, a #SPAC [#BlankCheck], offered Trump’s company a path to investor #cash.

Hmm, checked over on the #disinformation network (ie the #birdsite) and there's massive disinformation panic over stocking up on benadryl (because NO ONE READS ANYTHING there and they are all conspiracy theorists) -- FDA pulling phenylephrine (which does not work), NOT #benadryl.

@threeofus The HAT + RED observation was first posted by Jules Suzdaltsev on the #birdsite , from which I was ‘permanently suspended’ by #ElmoMush for sharing that and similar #antifa posts. 🤷🏻‍♂️

#CreditWhereCreditIsDue

I've been rooting for this and other #Twitteralternatives since we lost the old #birdsite, and now we have #threads – which I think has a better chance of filling the social broadcasting hole #muskstwitter opened up than any of the "clones" to date. More thoughts here: https://www.netfamilynews.org/threads-the-new-social-media-kid It'll never be truly decentralized, right? But its promise to be interoperable makes things interesting, don't you think?

Thank you🦶
You did get my point: asking others not to judge people on the basis of your skin color while literally doing the same is, well, a bit akward.

I can see your plight. #QLoon, as I prefer to call #Elmo, did take away a lot from everyone by his hostile #takeover. I, for instance, loved that virtually every public figure could be addressed on the #BirdSite. Even the #MAGATs could not avoid being called out there.
