#fowlplace — Public Fediverse posts

"Thousands of small developers may have to shut down free tools like #ThreadReaderApp or #RemindMe_ofThis, the Verge reported, impacting hundreds of thousands of followers who rely on small developers to build tools that help maximize their engagement with the platform."

This latest news from #Twitter is basically leading me to almost total disengagement from the #FowlPlace.

I have disconnected my blog from Twitter (I don't think I have posted from my site to Twitter since late last year). I still follow some Twitter users and lists in #Inoreader (mostly Twitter hold-outs). I suspect that will end too.

The end result is that Twitter becomes yet another service I have an account on, and mostly return to a couple times a year to remind myself how lousy it is.

There have been a number of well-meaning and justifiable calls for people to just leave the #FowlPlace. I agree with them (at least the many thoughtful posts I've read).

Just looking at the state of the #FowlPlace and the behaviour of the person running it, I feel like it is also important to recognise that almost all of you took the step to leave that place, and create a better space for yourself in the #Fediverse.

So, well done to you for taking a big step into a new and unknown space. For many it was a leap of faith that there are better digital spaces.

By making that leap you have also been instrumental, in your way, in creating this #GoodPlace that we now share.

It's not a perfect space because we are not perfect, but it is a better space. Thank you. 🙏

Every time I go over to the #fowlplace (credit to @marlies for coining the term) and then come back here - I come to realization how much that platform is filled with toxicity and utter sense of doom. It can’t be healthy and sustainable to make that site - a #badplace - a primary source of information on social media platforms. #fediverse
