I'm finally at the point in my birdsite-to-fediverse journey that I filter retweets and mentions of the birdsite platform by name.

I don't even bother to click through and open them, unless they mention Apartheid Clyde (and that's only because I am *FEASTING* on the schadenfreude of that particular dumpster fire!).

Between that and the ongoing crypto nuclear winter, I am going to have to stock up on more popcorn! 🍿 🍿 🍿

I kinda hate activitypub things that give a link and nothing else. @amanda@acarson.wtf is a good example of this. When i see a post from that account its just a bare link. No clickable link card, no idea what its about, etc. I think its likely wordpress or something doing it but i skip all those posts and only pay attention to the @arush@indieweb.social account.

I screwed up the redirects on my end, so I effectively had them in twice, which, well, caused everything to loop back on itself.

I may change the identifier, but after this point, I have complete control over how things look and what gets published, (favorites, replies and boosts show up correctly while I can still publish my reads and other non-fediverse stuff without it going to the fediverse as just a link).

Thanks for letting me know about the problem, because I then had to sit down and figure out what was going on and I caught the mistake.

As Twitter’s new management continues to nosedive the platform directly into the ground, many people are migrating to what seem like drop-in alternatives; i.e. Cohost and Mastodon. Some are even considering new platforms that none of us have heard of before (one is called “Hive”).
Needless to ...
