Just a reminder that if you're scrolling the birdsite to read or engage in the #hunterbiden laptop nonsense, you are giving #elmo exactly what he wants. Traffic and eyeballs.

He is trying to drive traffic. Stop giving it to him.

@justinflood <sigh/> good point.

But almost nobody is likely to notice your point!

@mtobis maybe. But I’ll say it anyway.
@justinflood The posts right here from @YourAnonNews about HB are plenty lurid enough, if that's what you want. No need to go to birdland.
@morekindness @YourAnonNews thanks! I wasn’t aware they had migrated over here already. :)
@justinflood @YourAnonNews And to be clear, I follow @YourAnonNews for the occasional --and questionable -- humor. (The little prank earlier was childish, but funny.)

@justinflood

If you want to know what was said on twitter, @emptywheel posted a good overview and debunking of the drama. All without giving traffic and eyeballs.

@justinflood the doom scrolling only lasts so long, it will be a short lived spike in traffic.
@justinflood I only go on the bird site now to block advertisers. It's fun! 👍
@justinflood little by little I’m weaning myself out. I follow good people and I am interested in local events and people. I mute and block all the right wing nonsense and block all adds. My time there is almost done tho..
