So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

How can you help democracy right now? Encourage others to leave #twitter
Let them know there is an alternative that is better, safer and healthier.
The #twittermigration is the way people can vote with their feet. Spend less time on Twitter. Even 10-20% less time will have great effects.
Share your good experiences on Mastodon and Post (or wherever) on the Bird app.
Treat it like a campaign because it is. Leaving is the best way to fight back.
