I did it. It felt like what I needed to do today. After careful consideration I kept my account on twitter (I will call it that as long as its owner misgenders his daughter) so nobody can grab the handle and pretend to be me, just locked it and unfollowed everyone, even if it was hard and brought back a lot of memories, many good, some not so good.
I left the message
"Who I am is where I stand.
Where I stand, is where I fall."
Twelfth Doctor
Supporting democracy, LGBTIAQ+ rights and human decency. Not supporting fascists. I keep the account but lock it and unfollow everyone.
Where There's Tears There's Hope
Stay safe, everybody!
And I really wanted to have the message "not a follower" on there even if it meant two clicks for every one of the 872 accounts.

@Firlefanz It was hard. I was only consoled by the fact that at least @floofpaldi @QuokkaMocha and @DoctorMonkey2 came over here with me.

@strangeseawolf
Yeah. I lost quite a few connections when I left Xitter. I will say that finding you guys made up for most of it.

You are a true fighter for what is right, Wolfie.
I also posted a message today. I want to vomit really. That speech...
Anyway, I don't want to leave Twitter to the bigots completely yet. But I am considering locking my account there too. Basically, I only check it for news on Peter and use the groupchat to stay in touch with friends there.
Most of them will go to bluesky or not leave at all though. :(
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from DoctorMonkey2@mindly.social
@DoctorMonkey2 @Firlefanz @floofpaldi @QuokkaMocha Yeah, I am considering at least installing a bridge to Bluesky so people have already a point of contact once this platform is turned over to the fascists which it undoubtedly will.
For the rest... yeah, I am thankful that you are keeping touch with the Peter stuff there I just wonder why they all don't at least consider going to Bluesky. I just can't support someone who openly tries to influence elections in other countries in favour of fascist parties.

The only good thing is that over at Twitter I see lots of people posting anti-Trump stuff on my TL. So, there's hope for humankind at least.

@DoctorMonkey2 Yeah, still makes Musk money and gives him power. He doesn't really care about the content, he thrives on the engagement and nothing is more engaging than drama and hate. It is a well-working concept that brings him money, even if the world goes to shit because of it.

@strangeseawolf You are right of course. I am just sort of relieved that even in that cesspit there are people who understand what today means.

@DoctorMonkey2 Yeah, that's true. Well, we hadn't even a chance to not elect him and still we have to bear the consequences. Not as direct as the people in the US of course, but we might be the victims of a war that might be happening if he gives Putin free reign.

@strangeseawolf My only hope is that he won't necessarily be able to really do all the crap he announced.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from DoctorMonkey2@mindly.social
@DoctorMonkey2 @strangeseawolf he can only do all the stuff he announced if congress lets him. they can say no.

@strangeseawolf @DoctorMonkey2 there are republicans who are anti trump. they are out there. even if they're not making as much noise. they do exist. even if there were a lot of minority groups who apparently voted for the guy. guess all we can do is weather the storm as best we can.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from lunar_fang@pagan.plus

@strangeseawolf @DoctorMonkey2 ok you two. now I just have to ask. what's with all the 1s? is that supposed to symbolize something in text? or chat speak or something?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from lunar_fang@pagan.plus
@lunar_fang @DoctorMonkey2 Ah, sorry, I forgot. It is an emoji on my server. It is a little black cat that holds a red heart towards the sentence that was just written. It is cuter than just a thumbs-up, a nice little "I like what you said" or "I loved your comment". I always forget that these translate to something absolutely nonsensical for screen readers.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from strangeseawolf@mindly.social
@strangeseawolf @DoctorMonkey2 it's quite alright. thanks for explaining. and it's easy to forget if you don't come into contact with someone who uses a screen reader that often. and I used to be on mindly, but never looked into the well or any instances custem emojies.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from lunar_fang@pagan.plus
@lunar_fang @DoctorMonkey2 Yeah, it is a bit like when you are on the phone and speak to someone and then say "did you just see that?" because you have forgotten they are just on the phone and don't look out of your window as well. (Just happened to me the other day AGAIN)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from strangeseawolf@mindly.social
@strangeseawolf @DoctorMonkey2 yeah. I totally get ya. I'm one of those who never wanted to stay on an instance where mostly blind people went I wanted to get out and meet new people. and glad I did. even if we don't agree on everything or anything lol. did they ever boost mindly back up to 1500 chars or is it stuck still at 500.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from lunar_fang@pagan.plus
@lunar_fang @DoctorMonkey2 Yeah, I get that. Same as I never wanted to join a grief group. I wanted to be among people who HADN'T lost someone.
Yeah, mindly is up to 1500 again. Was just a server update that reset the value without KuJoe noticing it immediately. All good, now.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from strangeseawolf@mindly.social
@lunar_fang @strangeseawolf I had no idea that doesn't translate to a screen reader. So thank you for asking.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from DoctorMonkey2@mindly.social
@DoctorMonkey2 @strangeseawolf sadly a lot of custom if not all custom stuff doesn't. even normal ones don't translate. unless they're specifically added in to them. like I've seen a lot of blob cat things and I'm like WTF. apparently it's some new hashtag but it just sounds wierd. or it's a graphic or something. that goes what are you spewing at the end of your post peoples. why blobs all over? is that like someone who says lol after everything. only to look on pagan's website and apparently blob stuff is some kind of graphic.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from lunar_fang@pagan.plus
@lunar_fang @DoctorMonkey2 A bit like that. Blobs are often little animals, usually cats but I have seen foxes as well that hold something. Sometimes a trans heart, sometimes a coffee, sometimes they cringe, or laugh, or do something else that you otherwise would express with an emoticon about how something is meant or more generally how you are feeling, if you like to run away, or feel exhausted, or are rather comfortable. Stuff like that. It sucks that these don't translate to something which would make sense when read with screen readers.

@strangeseawolf @lunar_fang @DoctorMonkey2 Ah, they do get labelled with accessible labels, but seems like not everyone has fixed the labels. I mean they are images after all, aren't they? Also cute. And yeah, like the doctor says, all that is left sometimes is to hope, and have the willingness to keep trying. So, guess we gotta live and bare the weird thing the world has turned into, but that doesn't mean we have to be alone. Also, it's now a real fact that the world is something of shit hit the fan, excuse my "french." Oh well, there are positives in life. Such as, keep on writing cool stuff, I give a lot of thumbs ups. :)

@lunar_fang @strangeseawolf @DoctorMonkey2 That was funny. You got a smile from me. I guess English swear inventions are not that amusing to me. And wow has this been a long, long conversation. This shall now stay in the web of timely notifications. But all that shit reminded me of a book in which there were shit-throwing monkies, and that was their style of fighting. So yeah, definitely a lot of shit. π

@strangeseawolf @DoctorMonkey2 thanks for explaining. it's appreciated. now I can stop wondering about people's sanity. sighted people love their little symbols and pics.

@lunar_fang @DoctorMonkey2 Ha, right, we kinda use them like confetti to say the things that would be really wordy to type out. Like... "I know it's shit, still try to focus on the good things and have a cup of coffee now" is a lot of characters to use instead of a blob.
You are still allowed to wonder about the sanity of us sighted people. laughs
