  1. CW: BlueSky

    I can't bring myself to want to sign up for #BlueSky because, even though it gives me extremely strong vibes of #Twitter's early days - back when it was way simpler and better - I just don't think I want that sort of thing any more.

  2. 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.”

  3. @caseynewton I know, I literally read that (albeit via #BBC) today, because I went to #Birdsite to pick up messages from my #Madagascar community (they are NOT ready to move from #Twitter, they just arrived!).
    It made me feel sick to my stomach. I knew it had become a cesspit, but laughing outloud at #disability, spreading #targetedharassment & #disinformation used to be an offence that would get your account shut down. Now it gets you to the top. #ElonMusk.

  4. 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.

  5. So much vitriol over .

    We're turning into , and I hate it.

  6. Hello! 👋

    We build and maintain the mountain bike #MTB trails on #CannockChase in #Staffordshire. This includes #FollowTheDog and the #MonkeyTrail.

    As this is “the new hot thing” we’ve signed up on Mastodon, and if the #birdsite goes down at any point soon, this will likely be our alternative place to toot. Apologies if this isn’t updated all that frequently…but we will try. 😊

    Hm. Die Birdsite ist rein technisch nicht Freunde-freundlich wegen der Zeichenbegrenzung. Wer social media zur Freundschaftspflege nutzen möchte, hat bessere Möglichkeiten als die Birdsite.

    Demzufolge wär dann auch nun der Muskodus keine Einspritzung solcher Nutzenden ins Fediverse.

    Jetzt müsste ich noch herleiten, warum ich Freunde-Freundlichkeit mit Diversität in Persönlichkeitstypen gleichsetze und meine Antwort darum eine valide Entgegnung auf Deinen zwangsläufig enttäuschten Diversitäts-Anspruch ans Fediverse (oder nur an Mastodon?) ist.

  8. CW: Birdsite mention

    Hey y'all, IDK if y'all knew about this but it's a good reason not to use birdsite if you need a reason. I thought more people knew about this but maybe not. theintercept.com/2022/04/22/an

  9. #introduction Dismal Manor Gang is retired moocher Dave and his former racing greyhounds Missy and Rocky. We live in the Dismal Dominion (Virginia low country). Dave (the Dismal Wizard) takes pictures, listens to #jazz and #newgrass music, and is making a futile attempt to train his dogs and grow a garden.

    We amuse ourselves playing the #dogtwitter game over on #birdsite and we are trying to get #mastodogs going and looking for a weekend coffee hour like #palsporch over yonder.
