I killed my acct on the bird app.
@krisSacrebleu I'm just watching to see what happens.
Seems weird, like melon playing the villain but may be an anti villain re: tfj tweets as evidence?
@BJMisme I just can’t w trump back on the site after what he did to this country, what he continues to do to this country. I was willing to give Elon a shot, but he actually acts more trumpian than trump sometimes, I don’t want any part of either of them at this point. Out of touch “billionaires” who don’t give a shit about we “serfs”
@krisSacrebleu If he comes back, I'm going to be part of the massive horde screaming Traitor at the loser.
@BJMisme I completely respect that too — I wish Mother Nature would just save us all the trouble
@krisSacrebleu Me too. I really thought so many times...
Like it holding the bible during protest, or when he swore oath of office even!
@BJMisme @krisSacrebleu There was a line from a courtroom film,in which Charles Laughton,in cross-examining a witness whom he knows to be a liar,says of them( after they had just sworn on a bible to "tell the truth...") "I'm amazed that the words didn't leap up from the Testament in outrage!". THAT is Donald J. Trump....
@krisSacrebleu @BJMisme From your lips to God's ears....😈
@krisSacrebleu Precisely! My thoughts exactly … I was preparing to leave when the announcement came yesterday. I’m done with the bird site …. I’ll cross post for a bit until people move, but after a few weeks/month I’ll be pulling my automated posts from Mastodon to Twitter.
@krisSacrebleu Congrats. I bowed out from there for the last time and deactivated last night after the braying baby-handed gobshite was reinstated. Enough's enough.
@krisSacrebleu glad to find you here 🥳
@krisSacrebleu Kris, did you deactivate, or delete?
@VixieGirl57 I deactivated but my hope/plan is that I’ll not go back, not happy w Elon’s stewardship and truly don’t want to share platform w traitor trump
@krisSacrebleu Exactly! I didn't deactivate but I'm done over there as well.
@krisSacrebleu Congrats! I'm using mine to help people move and that's it.

@krisSacrebleu ok that's what I thought - really glad I found you here first tho.

I'm hanging on as I rebuild here, and (provided it doesn't just creak and slide to a halt) I'm going to focus on Mastodon primarily starting in January. I really, really don't need the orange thing in my day. ick.

@krisSacrebleu wow.. you went for it . Sad … not sure that this place is it yet .

@krisSacrebleu I was just on the other site looking at something, and people were trying to get the powers that be to close an impostor account. It was pathetic how everyone was impotently begging the corporate overlords for some kind of help, and all they were getting was silence.

Since I've been on here the last three days, I've had numerous conversations with server operators and mods. My sense is that, should there be an issue, it will be trivial to get it resolved.

We've all got Stockholm syndrome, having been on that other site for so long. We need to really introspect, and ask ourselves what we want to create here. We have been disempowered for so long, I don't think we're able to clearly feel what real say in the building of a global town square looks like.

We have much more power here. Choose a server that reflects your values, and then support it in various ways. Get to know your admin and moderation teams. And probably most important, continue the culture of interacting with people as if they are real human beings with feelings.

@krisSacrebleu I’m with you. Haven’t deactivated just yet. Giving all the worst folks their accounts back and the uptick in hateful posts is enough for me.
