people on #theothersite called me a clout chaser over this one.... 😔

This probably has to be one of my more favorite interactions from when I was actually active on #TheOtherSite #infosec #cybersecurity
I find it amusing that, without any ability to make rules against it or even really moderate people talking about it, I can go on endlessly promoting #Mastodon / #Fediverse on #Twitter, but on here, moderation tools are so strong that if we want to mention Twitter but not actually talk about it (as in, saying we saw something on Twitter), we have to use euphemisms like #BirdSite or #TheOtherSite to get around being accidentally caught in people's filters...

@CarolDanvers On #TheOtherSite, I warned people nearly EVERY DAY of 2019/2020 how critical it was to retain control of Congress with 2020 being "a Census Year" where Congressional districts for the next decade would be redrawn by whomever was in control of the House & Senate.

The #GOP is making it impossible for Democrats to win even with FAR more votes b/c of #GerryMandering.

If Dems get a chance, we need to use #AI to redraw Voting Districts equitably w/o regards for partisanship.

@AnarchoNinaWrites On #TheOtherSite, I have just under 1,900 followers. But got so fed up with Trump's Goon Squad and the insane trolls pushing his insanity daily, that I moved to "Newsie" on Jan 1 and am starting from scratch all over again. 🙄

What is the point of a "#BlueCheckmark" on Twitter anymore? It used to verify that the person behind the account *actually IS* the person they're claiming to be.

NOW, all it signifies is that you're stupid enough to give a Billionaire $8/month just to put a meaningless blue check next to your name. WTF? 🤦‍♂️

And why is anyone still on #TheOtherSite anyway? 🤨

@1finekitty Last year on #TheOtherSite just after Musk purchased it, I predicted he'd be bankrupt before the decade is out.

...I think he saw my post & took it as a challenge.

@martychan I'm finding here ("Newsie") is evolving into the more generalized "feel" of what #TheOtherSite used to be like.

@seth Every once in a while, I take a peek at #TheOtherSite to see what they're talking about.

The site is now overrun with RW trolls completely divorced from reality.

I always leave feeling happy that I left and relieved I had a place to go. 🐘

I HAVE BEEN LIVE BLOGGING THE TOP THREE SUNDAY SHOWS (#FnS, #MtP and #ThisWeek) on #TheOtherSite every Sunday since 2004, and now I do so here on #Mastodon.
