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.

From WTOP.com: “Rate limit exceeded: Local officials find ways to inform public following Twitter usage cap”

May I please humbly request help from my fellow #Mastonauts in the #Mastiverse to boost this totally #science based #survey?

It is urgent we get to the bottom of things.

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'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.

We should really start measuring business failures in nanomusks.

Counting Tesla, Space X and Twitter market cap losses, I think a nanomusk is about 182 US dollars. Maybe round up to $200 to make the math easier?

@claire_h @labourboes @LabourHub I don't use #BirdSite but I've already popped over and had a look see. I will pursue it. Looks sharper than last version I encountered. Is that in response to the current frebrile state of #Politics in little #Engerland?

@flexghost @UROCKlive1 Exactly - ditch Birdsite. We've all heard and seen enough - #BirdSite owner is toxic and anti-free speech. He's seeking to control narratives and normalize abhorrent views. Sorry to say this but staying = supporting him. #TakeAStand

#neuhier ist also der Hashtag, den ich benutzen muss... Ok hi! Ich bin gerade von der #birdsite hier rüber gekommen. Ich mag gern andere Queers treffen, poste gern Mix aus privatem Alltags-Zeug und zu polit. Themen wie #Fettaktivismus #Klimakastrophe #transRightsAreHumanRights #Feminismus #QueerFeminismus
Schaut gern in mein Profil unf folgt bei Interesse, ich bin ganz nett und so. :nonbinary_flag: :rainbow_flag: 💚

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

My only regret from leaving the #BirdSite is that I can’t directly observe what the #ChaosMonkey CEO is doing today.

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.

Never expected that a suggestion that men should buy their woman a nice engagement ring would be my most viral thread to date, but the scum all throw an absolute *tantrum* over it. Very revealing...and not in a good way.

We may've just made an app that changes the #blueCheck on #Birdsite, to a #swastika on red — #Fakebook same.

It may not be able to detect different sized #blueChecks, though.

May be hoping to release it on #FDroid.
