Oh, "cool".
I'm apparently on the fascists' hitlist to shut down over at the birdsite.

Aighty then.
I'm here with you.
It's just 226825 tweets.Most of my awake time for over a decade.
They can go to the birds.
I decided to not delete my account because I'm a responsible person that knows my tweets were linked to by the New York Times, Washington Post, etc.
Musk is clearly irresponsible. Whatevs.

I mean... "wahetvs",
as in how I took my first Fascist death threat 28 years ago, down on the streets from a person knowing my name and address in person on the town square of a very small town:
It means I had an impact.
It means they're scared.
It means I should continue.
It means we're winning.

@b9AcE If fascists knew my address all that means is I get to shoot them if they show up. In CO at least since we have "Castle Doctrine" and "Stand Your Ground" laws. So yah, whatever, make my day.

@SocialistStan Weeell, we don't have that here.
We have reasonable response ongoing threat.

I believe my keeping my pseudonymity should be enough, or there would be hella many States invading my village to grab little ol' me. ;-D

@b9AcE Have you already downloaded your account info?

@QueerSatanic Yep. About every month since that one time I got my first and only silly warning due to a record label.
Not because of my antifascism, my anti-regime activism, etc.
I promoted an album once and that was my one and only warning so far. :-D
I tweeted videos from PKK of blowing up tanks, etc... just "well phrased". :-]

@b9AcE @QueerSatanic videos of PKK blowing up tanks is just good wholesome family entertainment, why would anyone object to that?
Show threadb9AcENov 26, 2022
@ophiocephalic Wellll... due to laws in Germany I happen to know that people in Germany reported those tweets many times and that those reports were rejected. Probably because of my careful phrasing from knowing the Geneva Conventions. :-] @QueerSatanic

@b9AcE @QueerSatanic ah yes, Germany. Twitter was never a welcoming place for supporters of the Kurds
Show threadb9AcENov 26, 2022
@ophiocephalic There is a law in Germany specifically that requires the one that was reported to know that the report was rejected, if the one that submitted the report was in Germany or the one reported (I'm not) was there, which is why I know about those.
Laws are weird.

@b9AcE @QueerSatanic ridiculous and fucked up. The Germans are meticulous with their repression aren't they?
Show threadb9AcENov 26, 2022
@ophiocephalic It has actually been helpful. I have been able to tell actual PKK-members to copy those tweets and only replace divergent details. :-)

Welcome to the fediverse @b9AcE. What a horrific situation. We're happy to have you here, but I wish it was under better circumstances for you :/

I hope you've left a luggage tag on Titter that will allow people who've enjoyed their interactions with you to find you here. I have my fediverse address as my display name there, and a little elevator pitch for the 'verse in my bio:

Most tweets were posted first on http://mastodon.nzoss.org (a Mastodon site), one of thousands of sites in the fediverse. Escape the datafarms, join us!

@strypey Hello and thank you!
My retroactive evidence tells me I have been "here" since at least an apparent "return" in 2014, when it was still GNUsocial.
But I am still thankful for the greeting. ;-)

@b9AcE Then let me modify my greeting to welcome *in* the fediverse, great to have you here regardless :)

@strypey I was also a co-admin of a now dead Mastodon-instance and... whatever... Hi! Thank you! Very nice of you! :-)

@b9AcE

It's painful to be restarting over here, rebuilding a network and a following and a new history of posts. But it's pivotal.

Certain people "moved on the block" over at birdapp and now the whole neighborhood is ruined 😒.

Show threadb9AcENov 26, 2022

@UnCagedCritique Mhmm. I think one reason (of several) people that moved/were banned due to the Muskening are being particularly gleeful about how horribly things are going there now may be some kind of subconscious loss handling mechanism, since we in many cases de facto lost maybe even >100 actual friends and several of those may be friends for over a decade,
so rather than just mourning the loss we transform that emotion into sarcasm, mockery, anger, spite and similar distance-creating variants.
Maybe?

I don't know... just a thought I got when I read your reply.

@b9AcE no, no, I think I agree with that!
