#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 unless the real lies to the post go back to the original poster on #Twitter there’s really no reason for bot accounts reposting tweets.

If someone wants visibility on mast they can just come here and make a real account.

Curious why your apostrophes show up as code?

@kelliblue That was my thinking too. We shouldn't bridge the two. If they want follower on Mastodon, open an account on one of the many instances.

I am unsure why the apostrophes show as code, they look fine on my side. 🤔
