Do you need to follow #Twitter accounts but your instance doesn't provide a "bridge" to it? A bridge in #Fediverse terms is an addon (for the instance, not your browser) to allow communication to non-federating social networks such as Twitter is. So in case your instance admin has not enabled it or it is simply not available (for the admin to enable it), there is a way around it called #BirdsiteLive:

The instance hosted (by himself I guess?) at beta.birdsite.live seem to work. But remember it is always better to setup an on instance (decentralization!).

What I have come to realization is the simple fact that in today's age (I call it The Age Of Snow-Flakes) people get easily offended about everything. And only if you 0.01% divide from their world-views (e.g. like trying to make every "offensive" or "exclusionary" word sterile, that #straight / #homosexual people are not interested in #trans-people , you name it) they already start a shirt-storm and bullying-campaign against you.

For me, when people call me out personally (directly or implied as "that friendica-guy") or over some kind of group I belong to (e.g. I belong to the heterosexual group as I am born as a straight white man). I will try to reason with them and tell them what I think and if they start bullying or trolling, I block them (like I already did + the non-public block list of individual contacts) because it has no practical use anymore to communicate with them. They don't add any value to the conversation and only try to flame it (which an Internet troll does).

For me, these people are the hypocrites here and they need to relax and understand, that e.g. not all people are "pansexual" (some sort of "genital-blindness") or are interested in religion, sex, sports, politics (no matter if left/right-winged or any other form). And not all people are comfortable with e.g. polygamy (often used as an excuse to cheat "in bed" on the partner) but it doesn't mean that those people (including myself, as I want a monogamous relationship with my romantic partner) are not hateful or have some irrational fear towards these other groups.

We are simply not interested in it.

Ich bin seit dem ich 5 oder 6 Jahre alt bin aktiver Brillentraeger und habe seit heute zum ersten Mal zwei Brillen, da ich ansonsten nur mit einer "Allround-Brille" ausgekommen bin. Bei der Nahsichtbrille - oder auch als "Arbeitsplatzbrille" oder "Computermonitor-Brille" bekannt - bekomme ich irgend wie leicht die Kriese. Wenn ich genau gerade aus durch sie hindurch gucke, ist das Bild sehr scharf. Zum Rand hin aber wird es unschaerfer je weiter ich zum Rand hingucke.

Auch sehe ich ganz stark am Rand Regenbogenfarben z.B. wenn ich in die Ecke des TFT-Monitors gucke. Ist dies normal, dass man solch eine "Fischaugen-Sicht" hat? Mit der Fernbrille wird auf dem Monitor vieles unscharf.

What do you think about it?
