@paulbusch just nonsense and excuses. Twitter is now a fascist tool.
If you are on it you are being propagandized. By a foul prick on the side of Putin.
The enemies of our freedom.

MUSK WATCH (15-16 August 2023):

So the other night, I popped back to check in on my old Twitter account. Nothing new in my alerts. No Likes, RTs, etc. and the suggested tweets were none of my usual topics.

So for spits and giggles, I checked what was trending.

Despite Trump's latest #indictment being on almost every TV channel 24/7, it didn't even come up as a topic in ANY of the Trending lists-- not even under "News" or "Trending in the USA."

Then I manually checked hashtags like #Indictment, #Indicted, #TrumpIndictment, etc and got an ERROR message EVERY TIME. (So I know it wasn't just that the algorithm might have gotten messed up by my not having been back for a bit.)

Apparently, now #ElonMusk is burying news that he doesn't want people to see.

I'm not shocked by this, but I wanted to make sure there was someone documenting his crap.

Uberwappie Steven Arrazola de Oñate speculeert was over Conner #Rousseau in een #desinformatief youtube-'interview', tscheldt pikt dit op en even later maken (extreem rechtse) accounts deze onzin trending op Twitter...

Just posted this notice on my website. It's sad that visitors to my lighting company website, can't enjoy news and nonsense from Lego Pete Carrier, my alter ego on #Twitter.

Tired of CEOs making decisions with their social media platforms that you don't agree with? Looking for a secure place to post and host art? Wishing you were using a service that was future-proofed against capitalist nonsense?
A FURRY GUIDE TO MASTODON: THREAD
#Mastodon #Fediverse #Furry #Furryart #riptwitter #Misskey #Pleroma #TwitterIsDead #TwitterIsBroken #RateLimitExceeded

TL;DR
Want to join us in the Fediverse? There are thousands of small instances, and you can join any of them. But for furries specifically, try these to start:
furries.club
furry.energy
pawb.fun
chitter.xyz
vulpine.club
meow.social
plush.city
pounced-on.me
furry.engineer
cyberfurz.social
computerfairi.es
pony.social
bark.lgbt

If you're like me (an Internet user who remembers the Tumblr exodus of 2018), then you're probably feeling very abandoned and betrayed by social media and art sharing websites as of late. Poor management decisions have led to a state in which the platforms we use can no longer meet our needs as users.

There are a few alternatives I'm seeing people flock to - BlueSky, Itaku, and Cohost, amongst others. These are all privately owned entities whose main user base consists of people who either cannot use Twitter any longer or who have chosen to leave for greener pastures.

They are businesses profiting off of the mismanagement of Twitter, and there are no safeguards in place to ensure what's happening to Twitter doesn't happen in any one of those sites in the future. Do you want to have to change primary social media platforms every 3 years? Do you want your data and habits and interests sold to make these companies a profit? Do you want your text and media used to train AI? Do you want lax moderation that allows for hate groups to flourish on a platform?

I don't. So any privately owned social media website is off the table for me. What does that leave me with?
I was delighted to be able to find Mastodon, and its various sister platforms collectively referred to as the Fediverse.

A privately owned social media service hosts all of its information on a single server that you can only access via official websites and apps. This is what gives them exclusive control over what you see and how you see it, as well as what rules govern those posts. This is also why they can hosts ads - by being the only place you can go to see their content, your eyes must go to a page they control, and they can put things on that page that make them money.

However, the Fediverse (Mastodon, Misskey, Calckey, Pleroma) works by linking many independent smaller Servers - sometimes called Instances - together in a large web of interconnected social media sites. This means you can see and follow people from any site you want, and by "federating" (joining together) in this way a net of smaller servers can compete with a privately owned larger one. ->

Delisted because the search engine crawlers (literally the heart of google) can’t see twitter content anymore.

What a bunch of fucking clowns.

If you are no longer on Twitter you probably don't know, that for months there is only ads for bullshit, garbage and outright scam.

Now it's getting even worse. Ads on Twitter are so shitty, that they are getting fact checked frequently.
