Took me four hours to get from Herne Bay to London Town yesterday, bc of the #RainhamKent fire on Tues night. That's about double what it would normally be, folks who aren't from these parts.

Fed up with train (and other) companies using #birdsite for their customer service. "Use this hashtag on X" - no! Post the info on your fking website!!

Slow to adopt and far too slow to drop, these corporate machines.

Brain no work! What is the service where you throw it an X (Twitter) address and it lets you read it without having an X login?

Like xtwitter or xitter or something. For the life of me I can't remember and searches for "twitter proxy" are leading me nowhere.

If you're still on the #BirdSite for some unfathomable reason like @jonfavs.bsky.social or other masochists, it's a great day to post your appreciation for #Obama. @jonlovett.bsky.social @max-fisher.bsky.social @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @votesaveamerica.crooked.com @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Every fucker still on Twitter is enabling this behaviour.

You guys are fucking dope.

It never ceases to amuse me how we are sure that instagram and the nazi platform are the shit for getting our stuff out there.

For more than four years I have been on IG - luckily I ain't there anymore - and I have made ONE single sale during all that time.

I have a long way to go before asset/tool selling is viable for me, but I can see this slowly getting into motion. Thank you.

If the obsession with group chats & twitter of the billionaire class is of any significance, then the top slot in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs today seems to be posting! 😅

Voor iedereen die dacht de enige te zijn die #birdsite Twitter verlaten had: https://www.politico.eu/article/elon-musk-x-europe-social-media-twitter-takes-hit/ - 10% vertrok definitief, in zes maanden tijd!!

Debating doing a live coding stream. I can stream to YouTube and #birdsite. Would love to stream to the fediverse but OwnStream would be its own account...

I hate that I can't just reuse one account in this space for multiple things. Mastodon profile: check. Blog feed? It's a new account for folks to follow. Stream? Same thing, new account and different app entirely.

It's exhausting.

Elon Musk Just Sold Twitter to...

I know the #birdsite isn't super popular over here, but I'm considering renewing my usage over there for a new project. I'm embarking on a broader project build and a lot of the potential customers I want to engage with are there rather than here (or Bluesky, or Threads, etc).

But with the new changes, a "Basic" account lacks the reach it used to have ... political disagreements with Elon aside, would a Premium acct on #birdsite be worth it?
