Like many others on #mastodon, today is my 1 year aniversary on the #Fediverse (first on @hachyderm and more recently on front-end.social).

Also like many others, I left the #birdsite where I had many more followers (probably most of them bots and trash accounts), but have gained much more traction here than I ever did in 7(?) years over there.

Thank you to all my followers and people who have interacted with me.

I think I really need to give this app a try. I'm ashamed to say #Twitter is my favorite app. I am so active on there, and I have so many friends. But today, I got this..

I have never in my lifetime had any of my social media accounts suspended.. EVER..

Ever since Elon took over, the app has gradually gone downhill. He promotes hate and filters #trans and #lgbtq people through algorithms..

So, here I am.. What's this app all about? #birdsite #birdsitebullshit #birdsitemigration

@pieselpriemel The #Rexxit hashtag seems to be gathering attention :).

@dogriley Here's a timeline. We're not yet at the same peak as from #BirdsiteMigration .

@nextcloud The link posted contains "&utm_medium=Twitter" which is obviously false here. I hope you don't use these metrics for anything, cause you might get the wrong impression that the #birdsite is still popular and nobody ever clicks your links from the #fediverse.
