I manage social media for my daughter’s partner’s businesses. It’s part time, ad hoc and unpaid. Birdsite, Instagram, LinkedIn.

I binned my personal birdsite account last year.

I kept the app on my phone so I could manage the other two accounts.

No more. The toxic comments appearing on the supposed “For you” timeline especially in the aftermath of another school shooting in the US have done it for me.

I’ve deleted the app.

Advanced search comes to universeodon.com. It’s nice over here! https://blog.universeodon.com/mastodon-advanced-search-is-here #mastodon #byebyebirdsite

It was surprisingly hard to get banned, for some reason. I was basically being Sophia from the Golden Girls for months!

For posterity, some of my final tweets.

Hey everyone! Been a while since I posted on here! I took the leap and decided to delete my Bird Site account. So I'll only be posting on here from now on! #ByeByeBirdSite #Converted #SafeSpace #Neurodivergent

I love it when I get the #504Error on the bottom left of my app! It means Mastodon is growing again, might be glitchy for a day or two while Admins update the space and then next week, we'll see more content and topics of interest and perhaps more of my ol Twitter faves over here. #Introduction #ByeByeBirdSite

Twitter locked my account today after detecting "unusual activity." I'm not giving Elon my phone number, so I guess I'm done there. 🤷‍♀️👍

Perhaps my favorite thing I've noticed since migrating here? 100% less Kevin Sorbo.

@matt_runs is this you or an imposter? Without Elon Musk's fool proof system it's difficult to tell #ByeByeBirdsite

Honestly, it felt rather liberating to do this. Nice to be somewhere new. Well, many somewheres for now, but I'm sure it'll shake out, and probably not there. I'll peak in on my laptop, but I'm done watching decay in slow motion all the time. I'll wait for the highlight reels and start in earnest on building somewhere fresh. #solongtwitter #byebyebirdsite

I feel I can check my Mastodon feed in the morning and not spoil my day. On the down side I keep forgetting to be outraged. Hell, without the bird-site I’m not even sure I remember what I’m supposed to be outraged about. It’s a kind of withdrawal - but not an unpleasant one #byebyebirdsite #dailyfeels #newbietoots

So, Elon really said… #byebyebirdsite
