Na anderhalf jaar X-loos te zijn, heeft #Eurovision toch duidelijk bewezen dat #Mastodon de snelheid mist om rampen en breaking news in de eerste fase te detecteren... De sfeer op de #Birdsite is nog 10 x erger verpest dan toen dus voor de sfeer, gezelligheid en leren van elkaar blijf ik in de eerste plaats op de #Fediverse maar ergens ga ik het voormalige #Twitter toch weer een plaats moeten geven in mijn SM-mix, vrees ik ... 🫤 #esc#esc2024#Eurosong#europapa#joostklein
“Stop with the fucking history lessons about what the Israelites did, or what the Ottomans did, or what the British did, or whatever. IT IS FUCKING IMMATERIAL. There is a pile of dog shit in the living room. Instead of arguing about whose dog took the bigger shit in the living room, maybe focus on how we clean up the dog shit, and maybe we keep the dogs outside.”
@shayz0rz I really like this place. People can have convos with dramatically less BS being thrown at each other. I used to be on the #Birdsite and left during the #MastodonMigration . I really don't miss the stress of that place. Thx again for your voice here.
Not that anyone here cares, but over at the Birdsite the latest drama is all the blue check people whose blue checks were removed because they didn't sign up, are now blue checks again, LOL (or most of them). The reaction, as you might expect, is disgust and confusion. (I"M NOT A CRYPTO SCAMMER! WHY DO I HAVE A BLUE CHECK NOW?!?!) #birdsite#twitter#musk
"A federal judge has dismissed X owner Elon Musk's lawsuit against a research group that documented an uptick in hate speech on the social media site, saying the organization's reports on the platform formerly known as Twitter were protected by the First Amendment."
NPR reports: "One of the group's findings, published in June, detailed how 'racist, homophobic, neo-Nazi, antisemitic or conspiracy content' from paid users went unmoderated on the site."
> In February, X had 27 million daily active users of its mobile app in the U.S., down 18% from a year earlier. The U.S. user base has been flat or down every month since November 2022, the first full month of Musk’s owning the app, and in total it’s down 23% since then
#TrumpMedia, launched after an #insurrection, faces rebellion
4 suits involving the founding boosters of #TruthSocial threaten #Trump’s grasp on a massive financial haul
When #TMTG & its proposed merger ptr, #DWA, announced last month a shareholder vote on their long-delayed deal, it marked a final step for the owner of TS to become a public co potentially worth billions —most of which is owned [how much he can sell is limited] by Trump.
"And during the interview and during other interviews, he constantly says he doesn't care what people write or say about him. For someone who doesn't care about what people write or say about him, he sure does care about what people write or say about him."
Saw a journalist post calling on fellow #journalists and readers not to pay or read articles by an outlet run by an #Islamophobe.
While it was a good point, they did this, of course, on #Twitter, a platform also owned and run by a racist who, btw, regularly demeans #SaveJournalism and platforms fascists and, yes, Islamaphobes.
Just wanted to ping that if you have an #Airspy HF+ or HF+ Discovery, there's a new firmware version available 😜
Announced in a pinned post by @/lambdaprog on X-#birdsite, and since I'm not logged in (and I don't think I want to), I would never have noticed it if it weren't pinned 🤣
After importing over a decade of tweets into my site, I had several improvements to offer to the import utility I used. I compiled my changes to the code, and submitted it as a pull request, detailing what I needed, and why.
🦆 We regret to inform you that spreadsheet orgy woman is a milkshake duck.
😾 ”Aella Girl,” the #Austin-based* online influencer/OnlyFans performer who is currently going viral on X/Twitter (& other social networks) for keeping detailed statistics of an #orgy, has a history of racist posts. She thinks colonialism was good and drug laws stopped being racist in the 70s, among other meatballs beliefs.
🚨 Do not amplify and tell others to stop doing so.
💻 If you need more receipts, search for what this white woman had to tweet about racism. Definitely a milkshake duck. Below are just a couple of examples. For bonus points, she thinks a survey she did of a few thousand of her fans makes her an expert on defining racism.

@jboy55 and 2 others yea to be clear i think america's history was full of racism, and as recently as the 70s the drug laws fucked up a ton of black families down the line the stuff i don't like is the focus on privilege and blame and some of the claims on what 'systemic' means @Aella_Girl · Jun 18, 2021 Replying to @jboy55@NotJakeMarcum and @itsJeffTiedrich all yall are so uncharitable here; twitter is hard to have nuanced debates with, I'm trying to say that my conception of CRT involves things in addition to teaching about racism, that seem damaging to me. Your conception about CRT may be different and i'm open to hearing that @Aella_Girl · Jun 18, 2021 Replying to @NotJakeMarcum and @itsJeffTiedrich naw, i mean i think it's extremely important to teach about racism, slavery, and the impacts it's had reaching to today - I'm talkin about full on CRT stuff, which has many other things bundled in @Aella_Girl · Mar 23, 2022 Gentle reminder that in a survey I did of 7,381 people, only 17.3% defined racism as "prejudice + power." Traits most associated with using this definition were being nonbinary, black, highly educated, middle aged (?!), and US-based. @Aella_Girl · Mar 23, 2022 Gentle reminder that in a survey I did of 7,381 people, only 17.3% defined racism as "prejudice + power." Traits most associated with using this definition were being nonbinary, black, highly educated, middle aged (?!), and US-based. ive been doin lots of reading bout native american tribes and theres so many stories like "and then they slowly roasted a 6 year old girl to death" or "then they sliced the bottoms off his feet and made him walk over coals" that im like idk mebbe colonialism was an improvement?
