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. :(

@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.

@lunar_fang @DoctorMonkey2 Yeah, and remember that often hidden under a stone some seeds can survive the wildfire.

@strangeseawolf @DoctorMonkey2 fire burns stuff away so new stuff can grow. it's often caled the destroyer and creater. and what fire destroys, comes back stronger then before. don't give up hope.

@lunar_fang @DoctorMonkey2 Trying to. Even if it is hard. And same! :11111:

@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?

@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.

@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)

@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.
