There are people on this platform who want no politics.
We didn’t move over from Twitter to talk about kittens everyday.
We needed a place to carry on our work. To carry on fighting injustice, racism, misogyny, antisemitism and anti-LGBTQ hate. Because these things are important no matter what platform we are using. That was the whole point of our #twittermigration
We don’t have the privilege to be quiet.

@SpockResists I keep trying with Mastodon. But I can't get any traction here :(

@ChristineDantz Just keep engaging Christine. Always remember that every single voice is important. Your voice here is important. Find accounts you want to follow and reply to them. It’s the same as Twitter in that the more you engage, the more traction you will see my friend. 🖖🖖🖐🖖🖐

@SpockResists Thank you. I spent years building my profile on Twitter, just for the #ChefTwit to destroy it :( #DemocracyMatters #NoNazisHere

@ChristineDantz We all did. My account on Twitter is very well known. But it wasn’t at first. I had to build the account in the first place. I’m enjoying doing that again. It’s nice. 🖖🖖🖖❤️

@SpockResists @ChristineDantz It is nice. Rebuilding can also be expanding, reaching people I never saw before, whether they were on the fowl site or not. You meet more fish in a smaller pond.

@PandaChronicle @SpockResists @ChristineDantz Oh I love "fowl site." Best non-naming of that place yet.

More importantly -- what the others are saying, I second (or third?) the motion. I have found people I don't think I ever would have found in the other place, people in different countries, who share one or another interest. I have seen more engagement and had more interesting conversations. It takes time and some effort, yes. But it's worth the investment.

@legallaurak @PandaChronicle @SpockResists @ChristineDantz This has also been my experience. The Mastodon experience is what I signed up to the other website expecting.

It took 3 years of my account
constantly being false-reported, and consequently censored (because I kept fighting the lethal disinformation over there) to find this website and to find what I wanted in the first place, when I signed up to the other website.

@thespoonless @legallaurak @PandaChronicle @SpockResists I used my Twitter to try and connect with the #cannabis community as a writer. But I couldn't stay out of the disinformation and political fights because they're too damn important for our future. I won't stop the fight, I just would like it to be fair. The manchild on Twitter won't allow that; there's nothing left to fight for.

@ChristineDantz @legallaurak @PandaChronicle @SpockResists Oh, it was never fair; never ever ever fair; even as far back as 2021, it was never fair.

I went hard, at the disinfo on there, and I got smacked back hard, constantly, as a result (and my posts are still being delisted from the algorithm).

I would say that being here kind of proves there's something left to fight for...and we're doing it the only way we can.

Here is a prime example of a Russian bot account. Twitter is full of these and they need to be mass reported. Reverse search the profile picture.

The only problem with this is, when you try to report any of these foreign state bad actor accounts, you will be "Rate limit exceeded" and...
