Who the fuck is still on that nazi shithole

Remember kids, only nazis support nazis.

I was just talking to a friend who's very anti-nazi (at least, that's what he says), told him that by staying there, he's feeding the nazis. He says that he's the resistance working from within lol. People would tell themselves all kinds of stories for convenience.

Ask him if he'd go to a nazi bar, and start a fist fight.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I mean, there's no comparison. Punching Nazis is always cool, Twitter is just talking to them, which never is. You and fifty friends go on Twitter and dunk on Nazis all day and you're still just at a table talking with the enemy. Take fifty friends to a Nazi bar and throw punches, you've just improved the neighbourhood.

Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.

When you've lost the porn it's game over man.

HEY! tumblr is still fun to use.

[–] OrloNorppa@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Since you seem to know what platform have they moved to generally?

[–] yukichigai@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago

Most of them have gone to BlueSky. A few are on Mastodon but rarely as their primary (sadly). A lot of artists have gone to places like FurAffinity, Pixiv, and to a lesser extent DeviantArt.

Unfortunately a lot of them have just resorted to being on Patreon, which is unfortunate.

My government emergency alerts :(

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I actually emailed my local National Weather Service station awhile back asking if they’d post on Mastodon and even offered them a BlueSky invite and they wrote back saying only Twitter and Facebook were allowed and they’d be everywhere if it was approved by higher ups.

Someone made a BlueSky bot a few months ago for NWS notices and I’m pretty sure they covered every local one. I remember the person who made it asking people to request any missing stations. Not sure if there’s a Mastodon equivalent but you could use a bridge. It won’t help with transit delays or other local government announcements but the weather service stuff is available (via an AtProto <-> ActivityPub bridge if nothing else; it’s not like you interact with the posts so it’d be ideal for a bridge).

[–] gigglybastard@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Make a bot that listens to those and posts them here.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Or on Blue Sky or Mastadon

Hell reach put to your reps and tell them that they should have a Blue Sky and Mastodon for if something like this happens in the future.

Ain't no better time than now due to the Twitter outage.

It’s behind a paywall and I’m not paying that Nazi.

Nazis, people who aren't bothered enough that a Nazi owns it to leave it for Bluesky, and bots, lots of bots.
