It seems hordes migrated here from the birdsite between 5th & 15th November, tooted a toot to register their presence and have since disappeared. No more activities...toots, boosts.
And now not only does this resemble a client app for the birdsite but also an echo chamber.

@Sadiqkazi I had no doubts this was going to be an eco chamber. They blanket banned even Indi-toot instance. They think bitching about fascism in an eco chamber is going to defeat it rather than convincing the voters in a democracy.

@ninad Convincing voters in a democracy may never happen here or even on Twitter. We twitterati and the Tuskers live in a different world than the real world out there. It's just that an informed, civil, sane discussion is what I am here for.
As for Inditoot being blanket banned. I don't know if I should generalise but I am all for banning bigotry and abuse.

@Sadiqkazi I agree but even on Twitter there might be many who are on the fence and can be convinced.
Yes I too looked forward to having productive discussions here without all the hate and labeling.
Yes generalizing and banning a whole instance is actually bigotry on our part.

@ninad Some damage that may be...since it's still initial days. Though at the same time, am also worried if the bile on the birdsite does leak in here too.

@Sadiqkazi true that

@ninad @Sadiqkazi apart from that...being niche...there are lot of oddballs too...but let's try to keep if focused on what's imp. This is like what a yahoo group used to be. But has its uses. To gain more people it will need to come up with some unique features like Telegram...

@ninad The reason that inditoot got banned wasn't because of their views but their refusal to moderate on hate speech. By default any instance which doesn't do that gets blocked.

This platform though still gives you an opportunity to accept people from those instances or follow people there. And there is no blanket ban on an individual going so. @Sadiqkazi
