I do not like that site of birds
I do not like its awful words

I do not like what it became
I do not like its cult of shame

I do not like intrusive ads
I do not like the vapid fads

I do not like the clout it’s given
I do not like its algorithm

But I shall miss that weird bird town
I do not like it burning down

@XanIndigo and here was me thinking it was pretty toxic back in 09.
@XanIndigo 🤣🤣 got you a follow, as I was spitting out ☕
@XanIndigo @NeilPollyTicks sums it up perfectly.
@kamado @XanIndigo @NeilPollyTicks
That birdsite is so full of fear
I hope we build a better one here
@XanIndigo
👏 👏 👏 Bravo 👏👏
@XanIndigo May its ashes birth a phoenix.
@XanIndigo, perfectly expresses my sentiment.
@XanIndigo This is so good! Please keep sharing your writing and poetry, this is wonderful. 💜
@XanIndigo That was a strange mix of laughter and sadness. Thank you.

@XanIndigo

Very Seussy.

I do not like them Sam I Am

I do not like lame ads and spam

I do not like them with a Musk

I do not like them with a tusk

...

@XanIndigo Musk is basically the Once-ler.

@XanIndigo
And don't forget:
I do not like the Nazis there
I do not like that folks don't care

Which was my final straw

@XanIndigo No ads on mine. I'm still there wielding the Mute and Block buttons as my shield. Been there since the beginning. Will stay to the end.
@XanIndigo but that is not my experience of twitter. dunno what subgraph of twitter you played on! my subgraph was mostly productive and creative and fun
@XanIndigo it banned me for calling out the eugenicist Tories! That’s my claim to fame! Me? I’m proud to be a socialist! 💪🏼
@XanIndigo this deserves a standing ovation 👏🏻
@XanIndigo I’m responding to what few ads I see on #birdapp with “Advertising with the current regime on this platform tells me all I need to know about your corporate values. Goodbye.”
@XanIndigo me not feeling quite so sad, to be missing a one or one-half ad.
@XanIndigo Is this original? Whoever wrote it, it’s perfection. What poetry does in 10 short lines that whole articles don’t quite capture.
@XanIndigo is this to be read in John Oliver's voice?
@XanIndigo 👏👏👏♥️🌹🤗
@XanIndigo Sums it up perfectly. Mastodon, where are gifs when I need one? 😕
@XanIndigo But will you, will you in Blue Sky?
Maybe, maybe, a New Bird shall Fly?
@XanIndigo
A billionaire baby bought Twitter
Then instantly blew up the shitter
He thought it great fun
Cuz his mind was undone
His attention ever aflitter
I’ll admit I’m on your side @XanIndigo. I still hold onto the idea that before it became totally toxic for a few years, it was a place of generosity and expansiveness. Once I made a conscious decision to retreat from toxic engagement and ignoring certain factions, it was that again for me. Fun, educational, opening. As I cultivate my feed here, I trust it can be the same.
@XanIndigo
burn it down i say.. nip evil in the bud!
@XanIndigo perfect homage to Green Eggs and Ham! I’ve found myself also thinking of that lesser known great story by Dr Seuss lately...The Sneetches.
@XanIndigo @mollyjongfast, I know it's not perfect, but we'd love it if you'd join us more often...
