By the end of April, the bird site will be a substantially different user experience. Legacy check marks gone; only Blue in “For You”; no non-blue in polls.

This will have the effect of warping the entire ecosystem towards fascist shills, demagogues, and opportunists.

Now would be a good time to invest in alternative infrastructure, including making sure Mastodon instances are fast and robust. We are going to need them.

@davetroy Yet famous names and news media personalities are staying. Like they are doing the work of the goddesses. 🙄 If they were as appalled at Musk’s despicable platform, they would have left immediately and let the bird site crumble into decay, as it should.

@AnnMorris we'll see how that goes. Many will be stigmatized as the platform shifts into amplifying primarily rightist content. People will be forced to choose teams, which is the point.
