Are you getting tired of all these links back to the bird site? (Consider boosting so we can get a sample of opinion.)

Many of us have moved on from the #BirdSite and don’t want to go back, but still want access to some of the news there. I’m thankful for the M’don users who cross post and share, but I refuse to boost or click back to see the tweets. Every time we enter the birdspace, every time we like, retweet, or reply, #Elon wins.

Instead of sharing tweets, I wish folks would just post a screenshot of pertinent tweets and add third party links for any reference sources.

Thanks - I'm of the same mind. I don't click on links that take me back to the toxic neighborhood of my younger years. I escaped that shithole...why da fuk would I want to go back?

@Kozmo @fullyabstract I agree. Don't boost TW.

One must not forget the need to remove all of the blue bird shite from one's shoes.

That can take hours of time and is a grotty unpleasant task.

@Kozmo @fullyabstract You can read tweets without logging in. Useful if you have some specific accounts you still want to follow now and then. To avoid the prompt insisting that you log in before letting you scroll, use the Chrome extension here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/breakthrough-twitter-logi/ohhifopcgokjpbnppnmjbdnjnfcfnlep

Thanks for that. It gets me into the bird anonymously, but I bet it still logs me in their data as a user. It also still lets me repost items, though I have no desire to. I'll keep this handy but try not to stay away.

I'm finding I can't click through or boost anything that's cross posted. A lot of it refers to 'this site' as in twitter and that is not a good look posted here.
I feel like cross posting also implies that the two platforms are of similar function, which I don't agree with.
Engaging with one or the other, or both separately, would seem more appropriate to me.

@Kozmo @fullyabstract Brilliant post than you. My feelings exactly.

I follow some accounts using an RSS reader.

@Rhyothemis I think I'll give that a try. Do you enter a site in your feed via the RSS reader or does the reader give enough of the content that you don't have to enter?

@Kozmo

All the content is displayed within the reader. I'm using FeedBro in FireFox.

Of course, there is the temptation to respond ...
