#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)

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.

What social media platform would birds use?

Seagulls would *totally* still be on X.

I could see robins on Facebook.

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.

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.

Many years ago in Trump alpha version, I had a twitter account called something like "1930s Reich Family" (I think I named the account "Magda und Detlev"). I posted replies to Trump and trumpish politicians as if I were a Good German Citizen in the 1930s. It was things like "Yes, Leader, we should fear the outsiders because it is clearly they who have taken our jobs, not our national economic policy". As you might imagine, it had zero interaction.

I felt daring posting those things, but (a) nobody noticed or cared, and (b) the things I posted then, which I thought were highly provocative, don't even register on the awfulmeter for the past year.

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?

Don't be so excited about this. Believe me, they will waive the fine and they're not going to publish it.

[Replicated thread by @benjaminnorton at #X #Twitter #Birdsite]

What's going on in #Ecuador is crazy. Violent gangs seized a TV station and are attacking public institutions.

Under leftist President #RafaelCorrea (2007-17), Ecuador became very safe.

But 7 years of rule by US-backed, right-wing, corrupt politicians has destroyed the country.

UA: Вже пройшов тиждень, як я видалив обліковку в Твіттері, і я почав почуватись більш спокійним. Ті, хто видалив обліковку, чи не помічали щось схоже?

EN: The weekend has passed since deleting an #Twitter account and I've started to feel more calm. How deleted Twitter, have you noticed some similar feeling?

Enough! #Advertisers & #Governments Must Dump #ElonMusk.

I wholeheartedly agree w/ #DavidRothkopf, I’d only add #politicos & #journalists to the list. Sadly that includes @djrothkopf who still actively uses the #twitter #platform.

Everyone says: 𝕏 this, 𝕏 that. But no one says we need more Steam sales, we need more games that we never gonna play that also will accumulate digital dust.

Also I noticed that lately games don't get more than 60% off.

🎵 Oh, I deleted my account
Then blocked your website from my phone
Yeah, yeah, you thought that I'd come with
But you ain't gettin' my tweets no more
Shout out to the X, you're really quite the app
You're owned by a douchebag and that's what made me snap
Here's to the X, hey, look at me now
Well, I'm happier here without you
I swear you'll never bring me down 🎵

#TwitterX #birdsite #LittleMix

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?

@therobburgessshow I keep it at Mastodon because Mastodon is good for why I joined Twitter in the first place: following the tech crowds.

#CounterSocial: seems a lot emptier than Mastodon and their Desktop UI look like several mobile feeds side by side. It's hard to look at.

#Tribel: I don't hear enough about them.

#Spoutible: I like the guy behind it Chris Bouzy. When I went on, it was empty but, I have heard before there is too much gatekeeping and it is like a hivemind in the same vein as Truth Social.

#PostNews: I don't hear a lot about that one but, I heard it had become primarily a news aggregator ran by bots. I just heard that and never tried to get on it.

#Blackplanet: It definitely isn't what it used to be and, there is limited engagement on posts.

All in all, I appreciate how many social media sites were built in response to Elon's takeover of #birdsite but, there can only be but so many to have engagement.

This is an excellent #Substack post about that guy, his #BirdSite, and why you should be here more often (and other places like it) rather than over “there.”

(Plus, reading between the lines, welcome back to #blogging, everyone.)

Quote: “It almost makes you think that when people who are enriched from the existing status quo engage in what they call “disruption,” what they are #disrupting is any #progress away from the #status #quo.”

I just let my wife know that she needs to sign up for an “extremely hardcore” relationship for the next couple of years, or she can walk out. Guess what she did. #Twitter #elongate #BirdSite #MisguidedDecisions

Reboosting for #NewHere

TIP OF THE DAY

Use and Follow #hashtags !!!

Mastodon has #NoAds, #500Chars, #5Pins, and #PostEdits, but the best thing is #NoAlgorithm. On the #BirdSite you are force-fed by an #algorithm. A mishmash of your history, likes, follows and whatever Twitter wants to cram into you. With #NoAlgorithm, you are in control. Your feeds are just who and what you follow, and you can follow #hashtags .

Include #hashtags liberally so others can follow your ideas.
