Thank goodness for backups.

Something is very wrong on the bird

@DDave So glad I found you here!!
@DDave Pfew, your absence was noticeable for me today, and then someone actually pointed it out w/your mastodon info. Glad you're online!

@Nico_is_still_trekking_on Yeah, this is very frustrating. Im still here on the elephant, but my bird situation is wonky. im trying to sort through it.
They are silencing people I think.. or its a complete mistake.

hope you are well!

@DDave Thanks, Dave. Slogging thru still. 🫂
@DDave what the hell happened ? They just nuked your account ?

@DDave

It's Elon that's wrong with the bird.

@DDave 👋 hey.. any word from QElon’s crowd on why you are suspended?
@DDave We're all yelling at them to reinstate your account.
@DDave Dave is missed by his L.C. followers on twtr, many of which have seen a sharp decrease in interaction of late. This situation is just part of the muting of open conversations about important topics on that site.
A prime example of why Mastodon suddenly became a new home for so many of us. #LongCovid
@ddmgmgh @DDave couple that with a sharp increase in promotion of his freshly reinstated/invented R/Wing fruitloop accounts.. I see as many, if not more, right wing ‘bot’/sock accounts, & variations on anti vax/anti ‘lockdown’/anti science themes..
@NotARealName @DDave I check in there periodically, but locked my account. Had enough of the insane & angry dog-piles to open posts.
What I do see so often there now:"Where did all the L.C. people go? Is anyone seeing this?"
