Okay at this point I think I'm just going to suspend bird dot makeup
Twitter mirror sites are just bad
@aurynn hey! What’s wrong?
On my side, I’ve been having some problems pulling from Twitter in the last few days, and traffic has been spiky. Is it about that?
@aurynn 1) Twitter sells the tweets to third parties with no way to opt-out. I don't feel bad using the content of those that support Musk to grow the fediverse. The official recommendation of bird.makeup to delete their mirror is to delete their twitter account
2) I really don't want to promote terf and other hateful content, but I want people to be able to research hate and/or be able to organize counter-protests. It's a hard line to thread. Always happy to hear your thoughts on that though!
@vincent consent isn’t really your strong suit is it?
@aurynn people consented to it :
Snark aside, that’s why I tell people they should move to the fediverse, where there is none (or at least less) of that bullshit
@vincent you have at least one of my users and they have no way of deleting from you, so they did move and cannot revoke consent from you.
Also that’s disingenuous, you didn’t enter into an agreement with Twitter Inc to reuse the content.
@vincent No way for people to delete their mirrors
No moderation of mirroring, so terf scum get added in
overall, value minus
