Twitter's new privacy policy takes effect on 29 September
It gives X the right to use your posts - including DMs - & all your data - including phone, email, biometrics (e.g. face scans & eye scans) to train their AI & to share with any partner X wants👇
Fantastic photo from UT Austin. I was not able to find the original photographer to give credit, despite them deserving it.
Pretty crazy time to be on a college campus right now, Umich's "liberation zone" on the diag has grown in size, as has the police presence. The movement will not be stopped.
This depends on how many interests you have, how much you have to tell, and how much time you are willing to spend.
Overcoming the initial shyness is the most difficult thing, IMO. The #DeadBirdSite helped me a lot in this when it was still the original #BlueBird, #Twitter.
I started here with a lot of drive.
People here are awesome in general. Very different from the #enshittified corporate sites, you'll see.
Apart from that I've found this advice useful:
Durch "offensichtlicher" kann ich da nur zustimmen.
Das wirlich staatszersetzende bei den Beiträgen für die #DeadBirdSite sind jedoch nicht die #BlueCheck fanboys und ihre Zahlungen, sondern die grossen Accounts mit zehntausendenden oder gar Millionen Followern, v.a. von Journalisten und Prommis.
Ihre Beiträge sind die Herz-Lungen-Wiederbelebungsmaschine von #Elmos faschistischer Zombie-Plattform.
Well, if you wanted to start a shift to British (economic) isolationism than #Brexit looks to have been a good start... for the last five years the UK has been trading less with other countries (importing/exporting less).
If this was a structured & planned strategy then one might have been able to assemble an argument for why this made sense.... but an unplanned & chaotic reduction in trade will likely just be hurting #workers (again).
Didn't 'project fear' have something to say about this?
This was so foreseeable. Alas, I cannot link back to my #DeadBirdSite posts of that period anymore.
Just 3 points:
David #Ricardo's #ComparativeAdvantage* (and his successors like Gottfried #Haberler or Y. #Shiozawa) might have shown that a nation is always better off trading internationally, in particular with its neighboring countries, due to lower transport costs.
Just looking at the development of EEC/EU countries since WWII and...
Usually, I don't link to the corporatist #SocialMedia surveillance sites. Today, I'm going to make an exception due to the gravity of this #ProofOfCollusion between #TFG and the #Kremlin
While not a very well-known account, I tried the same thing for a couple of weeks, trying to get people to migrate to #Mastodon.
The #Post strategy, as I remember it, was quite different. The wanted a centralized platform earn royalties for professional writers, was my take on the #DeadBirdSite back then.
This is different. OFC #Elmo would block that!--This would have destroyed the value of the #Twitter acquisition--virtually global reach/a...
I don’t understand much about the fediverse or instances or whatever. I just came over from #deadbirdsite because I wanted a friendlier place to talk to others about whatever, and could no longer justify to myself being on that hateful site with its hateful owner. Since I’ve been here it’s been a struggle to find people and be seen but that’s getting so much better and I appreciate all you folks who share your days, thoughts, pet pics etc. I hope everyone has a great #today and great #weekend.
I've written more than a dozen threads on the latter subject, and I "recommend" being on the #DeadBirdSite" for experiencing the former. Some things can't be learned from acquired learning. 😉
And "#X" is not only permitting #Russians and their collaborators inundate the platform. Sexual harassment is rife, too, on the #DeadBirdSite:
Sexually explicit #AI-generated images of #TaylorSwift have been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) over the last day in the latest example of the proliferation of AI-generated fake pornography and the challenge of stopping it from spreading.
"Share your blockages." Folks, if you've missed my #WhackATroll & #Toodles posts, you haven't been paying attention. 🤭
"I find it best to ignore, report if necessary, and block. Who wants to acknowledge morons..." Ignoring does not help. I report & block constantly. Again, #WhackATroll alerts YOU to who I block, #Toodles means "blocked."
I often don't share bc I don't want to give them air, but I do it often enough to alert you.
"Manchmal suche ich bei meinen Sachen einfach in meinem #"
Funktioniert aber nur für dich selbst. Ansonsten müsstest du dich öffentlich indizieren lassen, aber das willst du aufgrund deiner #DeadBirdSite-Erfahrungen nicht.

--Aber was du damit gemeint hast verstehe ich immer noch nicht...
"Funktioniert aber nur für dich selbst. Ansonsten müsstest du dich öffentlich indizieren lassen, aber das willst du aufgrund deiner #DeadBirdSite-Erfahrungen nicht."
Was genau funktioniert nur für mich selbst? das Suchen in diesem # ?
Ich bin am Arsch ich blicke wieder nix...😂
I'm wondering if I should block the entire instance...
With what I'm writing, I can't accept stupid and malicious comments, which would be fatal for some people...and we know how users are on other platforms.

Please keep me updated on this, Mina. I experienced considerably more trolls, and unnerving ones at that, on the #DeadBirdsite, though not a huge number in total.
One that has reach and calls you out from.a prominent handle can be enough.
It very much depends on your content, OFC. @evelynefoerster@si_irini@MaJ1
Maybe we should start showing images from the trump era, because really, will people be so stupid? A second chance of crazy will be worse, and the end.
Please join me.
Share a trump era bullshit in this thread for our democracy.
Ich habe allein schon in der letzten Stunde 10 Posts zum Thema OHNE, dass ich einem diesbezüglichen hashtag folgen würde.
275 Following ist deutlich zu wenig. Es gibt ja keinen Algorithmus..
Ich bin inzwischen fast auf dem gleichen Level wieder wie bei der #DeadBirdSite.
Fast, weil leider immer noch viele JournalistInnen und Medienorganisationen sich als Steigbügelhalter des Faschismus auf #X betätigen und nicht auch hier richtig aktiv sind.
@dekkzz76
I know, and I disagree.
But I don't want to lose my posts, threads, and convos. I just experienced that at the #deadbirdsite.
Besides, I am for a account-block level, not an instance block (i.e. no #FediBlock for the reasons explained by @tchambers recently.
Please refrain from names calling. A repetition will be answered by a block.
