#techhub defederation notice

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 Are you talking about blocking accounts like @nwspittsburgh_bot ? Sorry if I misunderstand.
