@shoq Can't I just rely on you. In the UK and no #Shitter #BirdShite account. No #meta or #bluesky either. Grumpy old git! ✊ πŸ’– πŸ’– πŸ•ŠοΈ

With the latest exodus from the #birdshite, I'm hearing lots of tech/social-media "experts" doing interviews, talking about the social media landscape and #Bluesky versus #Threads.

Somehow they never – or barely – mention the issue of centralized corporate ownership and Mastodon/Fedi and the federation concept get no mention at all.

Besides being shoddy journalism, it makes them look quite ill-informed on their supposed core expertise.

@RejoinEU In case you didn't know, the master of the evil empire aka #meta, #facebook & #zuckerberg have banished me from their platforms. ? was it something I said? wot, little ol' me?" so I'm here also on #bsky πŸ¦‹ If you'd let old comrades know that would be good. My photography goes up to

@ProfLouiseL I am. I dip in and out, it's akin to the old #birdshite aka #twitter before it went stoopid and then toxic then a #musk #rat hole. Now X, ffs.
Having spent most of the evening on #bluesky I'm well impressed. It has a something of #birdshite about it. Obs. since it was 'conceptualized' by Jack Dorsey, former CEO of said #twitter platform.
#Facebook #X #fediverse "Every cloud has a silver lining" Having been banished from the #Evil_Empire #Meta & avoiding #X (formerly known as #birdshite it's forced me to find many #alternative #platform to find like minds. I have to say it's all going very well.

I read the replies

Turns out #trolls haven't thought up anything new for several years now

Somehow, I find that reassuring

@larrylong This is the quality #afl #shitposting that I have missed since I left the #birdshite and the only thing missing is a just in case it wasn't obvious #auspol.
@benroyce @johnlogic β€œtown square” no more. #BirdShite is that stinky alley with the nasty writing on the wall.
