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.

I will say this just once.
Many ppl r using birdsite & this parallely.
There are many ppl who get trolled so senselessly, Prabha being one who is unique that she gets trolled any almost every catagory person.

Only such ppl realize how peaceful it is have a space for talking w/o being trolled.
There are many here who feel that peace
Birdsite still is there for those who want to engage with them
Guess, u been out of birdsite for too long
And It is still early days here !!

I agree and know the level of trolling people do engage in. I am not asking to engage with those trolls. Just engaging with sane voices who might disagree with us. But for that we must first recognize that a voice from that side is worth arguing. If we assume their views, blanket label all of them as we sometimes do, no point in being on any platform.
We can always block and suspend the ones who engage in trolling.

@ninad @Sadiqkazi

Hence, ppl still use birdsite for that, the engagement.

There the arguments quickly become toxic because of those trolls as you said and we cannot easily suspend them. Here that's the biggest weapon we have against them. As you said these are early days. If after a considerable period of time we find that most of those from inditoot are worth blocking, then I too would agree with blocking the whole instance. But we haven't even begun here yet and already creating echo chambers. That's the only issue I disagree with.
