Social networks need critical mass to sustain themselves.

Part of that is making sure this site has that critical mass by encouraging folks to come here.

Part of that is making sure bird site isn't a place where you provide free content anymore.

There's a good chance when you joined here, you cared more about the first of those as a hedge against bird site dying.

But if recent changes mean you want birdsite to affirmatively die, you'll need to do both.

@Pwnallthethings good time to redirect twitter.com to 127.0.0.1 in your `/etc/hosts` (or `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts`)
@diracdelta @Pwnallthethings How can I do the equivalent of that on a Mac?
@jacquelinehoman mac should have it in /etc/hosts. You may need to modify the file as an administrator.
@diracdelta only problem is that hosts is not a directory in my Mac, and I'm NOT at all tech savvy and don't want to screw anything up I won't be able to fix.
@jacquelinehoman that's the one!
@diracdelta So how do I do that redirect thing?
