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.

@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...
