I am on gab now

gab is banned from both app stores and doesn't let you use gmail to authenticate, so takes a little more effort

unable to post pics or gifs bc the server can't handle them rn, but I successfully published my first gab

UI is more refined than parler, however everything is slow af like being on the darknet

I'm operating under a fresh identity to avoid suspicion 🕵️

best thing I found on parler

sadly posted by a qanon loser

this is legit based, shame there isn't more on this wavelength

parler recap:

- some creative propaganda
- an embarrassing amount of nostalgia for WWII
- a few slightly interesting pagans
- no signs of zoomer energy or topwit ingenuity
- no great esoterica-inclined minds found

their search and tweet retrieval functions are already hiccupping

disappointing for twitter to lose a competitor, but character-wise, parler going down doesn't seem to be a big loss imo

also now there's apparently a running clock until parler goes down so it's like LIMITED TIME, HIGH STAKES now

this is how I get my kicks 👻

Show thread

the subset of gab/parler users who I'd actually be interested in knowing is quite small (the top 2% in openness), but that's what makes the hunt to find them exciting 😄

yeah this is a good example of how I rationalize pursuing inprobable endeavors

I'm mostly just curious abt freethinkers who've joined these alternative platforms and exist outside the maga fox news boomer bubble

that and they're prime ground for infiltration / trolling 🦧

appears AWS is pulling the plug on parler tonight

consequently there's a massive rush to gab, which is throwing a server overloaded error 🙃

Show thread

gab dot com seems to be overloaded rn

anyone on parler?

I made an account but all I saw was boomer maga types so haven't followed anyone on it lol

oh, so pretty much this is just another alt

for when I have something to say that I don't want to share with the wider world

or if I'm interested in a more intimate convo space

sweet, that sounds fun and easy enough :d

I've been doing this for the last 15 min

why does swinging your hips back and forth FEEL SO GOOD???

@WomanCorn I got a 600 MB zip file with everything on the left plus an HTML file that links to all my tweets, replies, and RTs

🚨🐦 PSA TO ALL BIRD SITE BUDDIES 🐦🚨

if you haven't already done so:

NOW IS THE TIME TO DOWNLOAD YOUR TWITTER DATA

even if u have no reason to be suspended, u never know who could go after u

data includes follow list, followers, media, DMs, and js files of tweets + likes

@locus thank u admin 🙏

quick turnaround, this place is even more spiffy and welcoming now 🥳

it's a hard knock life, but it's easier with friends - how do you do, fellow cyber nomads :D

@protoneutype @urshanabi Okay looks like you can send a DM on tusky by
1) Starting a regular toot
2) Selecting the DM option under the globe icon while typing the toot
3) Tagging whoever you want to send the DM to
4) Send toot

@urshanabi can't see any pics here haha

I don't see any DM ability on tusky

are u using tusky?

tbh no pfps or pics is it's own vibe

to tell ppl apart you have to scrutinize their words more carefully

paying closer attention to what others say instead of judging them based on their image 👍
