OK, got the guitars tracked for "STFU Elon."

This week: drums, bass, and keyboards, as I can get to them.

@jtb I just tried to view a bunch of twitter bookmarks - my old twitter profile, a bunch of other profiles, some random links - with no luck.

Each time I was redirected to the login page.

But one old bookmark did work, sort of, this tweet from Blair Braverman (#UglyDogs):

https://twitter.com/BlairBraverman/status/1050239434795491328

I can see one tweet but can't see the rest of the thread. If click on her profile I get "something went wrong, try reloading"

So I have no idea what's going on.

#Twitter #Birdsite

I mean, I could be wrong. It's possible that lots of mastodon users both

1. have a twitter account

and

2. stay logged in to twitter all the time

but that seems unlikely.

Message for folks still posting links to twitter dot com

Did you miss the news that twitter stopped allowing anyone to view tweets unless they're logged into twitter? So those links are useless for most folks?

Also, are you unaware that many folks came to mastodon when their twitter accounts were suspended, often for spurious reasons? So that even if they wanted to log in to twitter to see that link you posted they could not do so?

Sigh. Account muted.

#Birdsite #Twitter

I enjoy this platform. I think people should be encouraged to come here. Therefore, I think #GateKeeping sucks. Communities that are #inclusive should not be condescending to people coming from elsewhere, because they were (or even are still) using platforms such as Twitter (no, I won't say "#BirdSite"), even if I refuse to use it). There's clearly a reason that they decided to come here. They're already converted. Be welcoming.
#nuffsaid

In case you want to know what's happening on the #birdsite, dril keeps changing his name every time they restore the blue checkmark to make the checkmark go away, and jacksfilms is now verified Shrek, otherwise it's still mostly just pr0n bots and Elon and boomers and background noise/the void screaming... The rest is silence.

I enjoy that this platform has #Caturday but without the need to wade through the #negative and #provoking posts found on the #BirdSite - thanks for sharing some relaxed, weekend vibes!

Not that my patience for #SocialMedia has been improving but the latest #doge (#birdsite) thing makes me consider pulling out of everything. What future is there for platforms where a single #ego shifts it on a whim?

Funny enough, if you're on the #birdsite :twitter: and are trying to be discovered, you'd probably get down-ranked by the #algorithm, meaning people wouldn't be able to find your post easily

On #Mastodon :mastodon: there is no issue because well.... there is no algorithm! That what I like about Mastodon, it's the fact that I'm easily discoverable unless I explicitly prevent that

@b4nq always the right time and also is high time to ditch the #birdsite :twitter: ❌

#UKGeneralElection2017

And crucially this did not happen in one English region - namely #London - where seats gained were below reasonable expectations and where there was more recent information on voting than anywhere in England.

So the claim made on the #BirdSite by Jacqui Smith on Saturday 4th March 2023 and cited subsequently there by Luke Akehurst appears not to stand up!

Is there a reason BirdSite.com is redirecting me to another, non BirdSite site? (To clarify: I am confused, but not that confused. I know the actual url to the BirdSite).

#BirdSite #redirect

When you fire so many developers you finally decide to open source the code of your #BirdSite company to see if the good #FOSS people will work for you for free.

Sure, I can't wait to fix your disaster. Maybe you can sit a bit while I create my merge request...

Ha ha UK based racism grifter #TommyRobinson abandoned his GETTR account for #Elmo owned #Birdsite, but has suddenly resurfaced on the former asking people for money (which he does a lot). And they're all telling him to get stuffed and ask his Twatter followers to pay his bills. Well goodness me. Hell hath no fury like islamophobic groupies scorned.

@VPS_Reports
It's amazing how these people flourish really, outside of their ecosystem he's a literal nobody with a #BirdSite account.

One does wonder at "liberal" #BirdSite blue ticks who set up unattended bot accounts here to mirror their sputterings in the other place. Like, what do they think they're achieving or proving by doing that?

So #DonaldTrump is planning on dumping "Truth Social" and returning to #BirdSite eh? Lol, well doesn't that just say it all. One rich shitlord buys a social media platform and starts it tanking. So a less rich shitlord who nearly tanked a country rejoins his platform because he wants to have another go at it.

There is a kind of weird self proclaimed "liberal" cultism in the British press and amongst British blue ticks on #BirdSite. They say all the right things (ish) about many issues, the NHS, antisemitism, education, etc, but they're virulently transphobic and often islamophobic too. It's deeply wrong, they're about as "liberal" as #Elmo is "centrist". People of good intent looking at the press (and the #BirdSite) shouldn't buy it.

RIP :(

My best memories of the #birdsite involve 3rd-party clients.

Before the Twitter website was usable, 3rd part clients WERE Twitter - and so diverse, varied, experimental, added features, expanded UI, and so on. As simple or hectic as you wanted. Twitter isn't a protocol but with 3rd party clients it often felt like it was!

So here's 👏 to the devs who built #opensource clients like Polly, Turpial, Corebird/Cawbird, gTweety, Pino, Hotot, Gwibber, Choqok, Twittim et al - you rocked!
