You seem to regret losing access to X #Twitter.
That you depended on #fascists for succor for so long means your book is a no go for me.
I can't imagine you appealed for reinstatement. A lot of us left out of disgust and never looked back.
Even your presence on #Mastodon is #bridged — meaning you are here in a half-hearted way and might not even see my reply, much less respond to it. In fact, your bio explicitly puts the onus on us to visit you somewhere else

If you are a #Twitter refugee and are now trying out #Mastodon, welcome!
If you are just exploiting Mastodon for eyeballs, trying to sell your book, but you don't want to be part of the community, think again 👀
If you were previously a refugee on Mastodon and THEN went to #BlueSky and #bridged back here, F*CK OFF
@gilduran (Mastodon account) which had been dormant for a while, briefly posted here last week, but seems to have gone quiet again.
Guess the Bsky corporate influencer gravity is just too strong. Feel like this is one person who should be helping build public social media purely to demonstrate the courage of his convictions. 🤷

I followed his account (without reading his bio) for his content, which is great!
I rarely care about people's bio. For me, it's always "Show, not tell"
You're right that this account could be a great influencer. He claims to have had 30000 followers on the #HellSite.
Gil, would you please join us?
I've never been on Twitter, and it want because it's owned by fascists.
Start using Mastodon because it is the correct direction.
Bluesky can and up like eX — Twitter
