All #birdsite instances. Birdsite is a ActivityPub compatible software that allow mastodonians to follow "twits" on Twitter. In short it re-post tweets on #mastodon.

Here's my reasoning for blocking:
1) it's confusing, we've receiced a couple of report saying these accounts are impersonating someone when in fact it's re-post from twitter original account
2) most of us left #twitter for good, not wanting to go back. Seeing tweets reposted here is defeating that.
3) most importantly these birdsite instances don't have either Twitter or the tweet's poster permission to re-post on Mastodon.

Let me know if you disagree I would be open to let one of them muted instead of blocked.

@nicdex I follow Corey Doctorow via the bird site, but he has a non-bird site account so I am OK with that. I think I lost Neal Stephenson - but I did not realize it may not have been him who set it up on a bird site
