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

  1. A long slow dribble as people tag or otherwise comment on #borgsite and I watch as the #sms messages trickle in. I just swipe and delete. I am not going back to #borgsite. But that makes me smirk still. I told everyone about the #fediverse and nobody other than one of my friends ever took me seriously. That’s fine. Life is good here. Far better than anywhere else. Their loss. #today

  2. I told a family member that I no longer am on #borgsite and so, they now send me links every day back to the social latrine. I have a new use for #LLM’s. I want them to take these Facebook links and summarize what they found there. I don’t want to expose myself to that awfulness. I want a machine to do it. That’s part of the whole hazardous work part, right? I tried #Bard and it complained that it couldn’t do it. Wimp. Ah well, link goes unvisited. We need tech to shield us from the awfulness.

  3. I quit #borgsite and #birdsite and told all my friends I was going to #Mastodon and if they wanted to follow me, I’d be happy to help them build community.

    They, save for one, yawned. And that’s really all I need to know, in a nutshell.

    Then I just stopped sharing my dumb pointless life on #Signal. It’s just #shitposting now. They seem to like that better than anything I could share.

    I accept it. I’m alone and that’s how it’s supposed to be. Don’t gripe. Just make it normal. #today

    Hi Kelly,

    welcome to the #Fediverse.
    With your ambitious goals, I think you've come to the right place, as the scientific community is particularly strong here.
    E.g., most of the #ClimateScientists have migrated here from the #BorgSite, also known as the #DeadBirdSite.

    Things here work differently, so you might find these things useful to enjoy your presence here:

    ...essential.

    I am almost positive that the #BorgSite is to be abused to carry out right-wing #psyops against the electorates of democratic countries in the style of the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal and the 2016 US presidential elections.

    The second most important domino stones they need to fall are Germany and France, where they almost succeeded last year.

    Shutting down #X, at least in the #EU, is probably the single most important issue for...

  6. @noondlyt @rodhilton

    The #BorgSite is moribund.
    It has been since the #QLoon bought it backed by the likes of MBS.
    However, in so doing, it has been becoming less and less relevant.

    The real battle to watch is the one the #BeEvil company and the #RottenApple are fighting to subjugate the #OpenWeb.
    The former seems to be already in the roll-out process. Take a look at the linked long article. Horrifying.

  7. @tizan
    Yes, some popular accounts have been here for a longer time.

    Not enough by far!
    Most still serve as click-bait on the #BorgSite.

    I would not call @Teri_Kanefield and @GottaLaff "influencers" in a #SocialMedia meaning.

    Both have real content and provide insights into #Politics and/or #legal issues.

    #RedditCensorship takes #Elmo's #BorgSite approach and has area eliminated #Fediverse entry.

    Act now to protect your content and use the #Fediverse's #FOSS alternative:

    #Kbin (1):

    EDIT/UPDATE:
    I needed to remove #Lemmy as an alternative due to its dubious stance towards human-rights abuses, as explained in the next toot.

    As you going to such great lengths, here is another great idea (borrowed from the #BorgSite ;)) that is great for the office or your home, in case you haven't got an air filter yet:

    How much more will it take until you all pack up your things and leave the #Borgsite?

    ...#Thierry #Breton last Friday, followed by

    “Bye, bye birdie,” by the #European #Commission’s Vice-President for Values and #Transparency, Vera #Jourova the next day.(4)

    After #Musk's most recent misdeeds (e.g. (4)), the many user complaints, and the second departure in this function within just a few months it seems obvious that the #BorgSite is...

  12. @Independent

    Right after #Elmo selling out #TFG's digital space on the #BorgSite, but still providing a barrel-burst start for #RDS' #PresidentialElection, #RonDeathSentence still sells himself cheaply, further endangering real national heroes' livelihood:

    "Ron #DeSantis signed a bill that shields #SpaceX and other #aerospace companies from legal liabilities, the day after #Elon #Musk hosted the..."

  13. BREAKING - PLS BOOST!

    If you are interested in the #ClimateCrisis, follow the #ClimateScientists who left the #BorgSite as a GROUP.

    We can all do something to "make this a thing":

    follow as many as you can, so other BorgSite groups will learn of this success.

    Let's make this #TwitterExodus an avalanche!

    Scientists "suffering insults and mass-spam are abandoning Twitter," and setting up shop on Mastodon.

  14. @juddlegum

    ...I've already commented on #BlueSky earlier this year.
    In essence, my guess is that the #BorgSite is being kept alive, even as a zombie site, until #Elmo's #PayPal #Jack' s #BlueSky is running smoothly enough.--The #PayPal trio never really fell out.

    And so has Stefan here:

  15. @atomicpoet

    Not disagreeing, but I still think that the legacy #BorgSite technology will collapse within a year or so.

  16. "...many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is #Twitter, where we are now,” #Carlson said in his announcement."

    Anyone who has followed #Elmo's more and more #rightwing inclinations on the #BorgSite can hardly be surprised.

    In fact, this is a logical, strategic move to take #fascist and #misogynistic #propaganda global, completely in line with #CPAC meetings with the #UltRight #European #Pariah President,...

  17. @wjmaggos @jeff @feditips @FediFollows @fediversenews

    I said what I wish for.
    I already spent too much time on the persona non grata on the #BorgSite.
    Of course they can (and will) come here to spread their venom.

    #FakeNews, #propaganda, and #brainwashing are great dangers for free and open societies.
    I would argue that a big part of the #US population is already lost to central tenets of #democracy...

  18. @wjmaggos @jeff @feditips @FediFollows @fediversenews

    ..., supranational organizations like the the #UN, the #WorldBank, the #OECD, and the most important #NPO's, as well as many #scientists here.

    "Nothing wrong" with having many different artists here, because they develop culture.

    The mega-#influencers from the #BorgSite or any of the #Meta sites would rather do without, too in many cases.
    They often ...

  19. @stefan

    I love it.
    In particular, as federated feeds often take forever to load (or not at all), e.g. with #FediLab.

    Being a #Borgsite veteran, #moderation, leave alone #CW's is not that much of an issue for me (so far, this will change once the #MetaHordes flood the #Fediverse.

    Awhile ago, some of us had a longer discussion regarding the control over your threads.

    They ate definitely insufficient on #Mastodon so far.

    I've just had, for the first time after 16k...

  20. @yamainu @[email protected]

    ...now, but I assume that it is until #QLoon's old #PayPal #JackDorsey, gets his "Twiiter 2.0" project (which over 50% of the subscribers want) #BlueSky running. Once it works, I would give it a 60-70% chance that the #BorgSite implodes within a few months, so that all remainers, purged of most "leftists" will move to #BlueSky.

    What can you do to find new clients and grow your network?

    As a starter, I'd diversify a bit...

  21. @rbreich

    He is paying out of his own pocket for some high-profile content contributors who (rightly) refuse to pay up ( but really should be considering moving on from the #BorgSite 😉)

  22. @zbecker @kainoa

    Excellent, thanks.
    Ever since switching from the #BorgSite that is a deal-breaker for ne.

  23. @FrankPasquale
    Prof. 4 tax law, Daniel Hemel, realizes his mistakes himself: "In retrospect, I was a soft target for hackers."

    And yes, comparing the #JackDorsey's sell-out of the #BorgSite to the #Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 is quite drastic and, with some contemplation, probably inappropriate, as admittedly 200, possibly many thousands died when the #CCP let the tanks clear the square.

    The biggest error, IMHO, is that he doesn't seem to adk the right questions, in particular, WHY?...

    #Welcome to the #Fediverse, #GreenPeace!

    Die #Klimakrise macht die Präsenz von #Umweltzschutz-Organisationen auf der am stärksten Wachsenden #SocialMedia-Plattform, #Mastodon im Fediverse), umso wichtiger.

    Dies ist jedoch weder #Twitter (#BirdSite bzw. #BorgSite) noch ein #Meta-Ableger.

    Hier ein paar Tipps:

    Lol, oblivious.

    #STFU

    We could have used this meme on the #BorgSite every time a politician or a corporate spokesperson would lie about the climate or the environment. 😀

  26. @ViolaB

    Da bin ich optimistischer.
    #Lindner hat die #FDP sehr "erfolgreich" exklusiv in Richtung #Klientelpartei geführt . Die coole Strömung von "#Genschman" ist tot und als ich noch auf der #BorgSite war, trendete immer wieder #FDPunterFünf, #FDPra, #FDPrausAusDen usw.
    Es fehlt aus meiner Sicht jedes Konzept für eine breitere und jüngere Wählersnsprache, ausser jüngere Frauen en bloque auf Wahlplakate zu bannen.
    Die #FridaysForFuture-Generation kann man damit mE nicht täuschen.
