@Teri_Kanefield I’ve not been on #TheBirdSite for months. I heard about this and the new “verification” process. I wonder, when is enough?

More news about how #TheBirdSite is doing terrible things, and why we should be increasingly thankful for the #Fediverse https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/15/twitter-x-links-delayed/. #TwitterLinkDelays

The possibility of this happening is exactly what I worried about when Butthead took over #TheBirdSite https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/06/musk-black-twitter-spill/ #WebScience #ComputationalSocialScience #BlackLivesMatter #BLM

Someone is already using the handle for #Elon's new brand. I checked the link; it's a real account (since 2007), and its tweets are protected atm. It has added a Follower in the past 24 hours, so the account is still active.

#ElonMusk decided on the name change, but didn't secure the handle first. 🤦‍♀️🤣

As #BugsBunny would say, "What a maroon!"

Left #TheBirdSite yesterday; too much stupidity. Was a user since 2009…

But wait….🤣😂🤣😂🤣

“X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.”

We don’t need to imagine. The global town square is full of freedum warriors, misogynists, racists, climate deniers, neo Nazis, conspiracists, and paid trolls having a rally and there’s no way to have a meaningful conversation with anyone.

#TheBirdSite #enshittified

Holy Crap, #TheTwit is at it again. Punishing the people who actually make up #TheBirdSite and restricting their ability to communicate in a community behind the scenes. I am so glad I left that cesspool.

#thebirdsite won't let me tweet....
Won't let me reply....won't let me DM.... Won't hold my likes ...

I can, however, retweet (without comment)

#IHazASad ☹️

@mackayim2022 I'm also relatively new here but after #thebirdsite turned into a hugely toxic swamp, I am still cautious about replying to people directly on here.....in case it turns into a troll pile on 🙄 I need to spend more time on Mastodon and work on the "socialising" part!

@CrackedWindscreen That’s really the biggest reason for avoiding “that other” place.

Witnessing such intellectual depravity become so widespread (and intentionally enabled) around “trigger” topics, such as climate change, is too negative a sentiment for me to allow it to drag me down with it.

So many choose to ignore what they can’t see, yet everyone knows what’s going on. I can’t be a party to that.

#TwitterMigration #TheBirdSite

@c3141mtd @alfredo_liberal I think #Bluesky has a model that was similar to what Elon wanted. We will allow everything and if it offends you, you can block it. It also translates to, if there is offensive content, you have to seek it. Like #thebirdsite, it is trying to relieve them of any responsibility.

The levels of desperation to save the sinking ship that is #TheBirdSite is pathetic. Why would you choose to stay at this point?

@Mark @bikepedantic Done!

My first post there in 3 months, and even that was my first post there since December, a month prior to that, which was when I first officially announced my disengagement from The Bird S(h)ite to my friends and followers over there.

“feels like it’s gone from the center of all public conversation to some regrettable networking event where everyone’s got business cards but no one’s got a job.”

A year ago, Musk asked, ‘Is Twitter dying?’ He may have his answer. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/04/15/twitter-musk-bid-anniversary/

If you were looking for any new reasons to #donateToPublicRadio or to stop using or even close your #birdAccount, here you go.

If you encourage your #localPublicMedia and any #birdAdvertisers you know who use #TheBirdSite to leave it, that would also show support for #PublicMedia. #FalselyLabeling, even #slandering, #publiclyFundedMedia doesn't deserve #advertisingDollars.

At #TheBirdSite; WTF is that damn dog for? Since clicking on it does the same as the home button, it's redundant.

@GreenFire @neilasaurus Unfortunately, it’s harder now that #TheTwit decided to charge outrageous amounts of money for tools that help you find your follows from #TheBirdSite.
