Need to follow Twitter accounts but your instance doesn't provide a bridge?

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:


GitHub - NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive: An ethical bridge from Twitter

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!).

Megabanks @jpmorgan and @GoldmanSachs are exploiting a loophole to evade our sanctions and profit off the war in Ukraine—in turn helping Russia fund its human rights abuses.

@[url=https://bird.makeup/users/senwarren]Elizabeth Warren[/url] and I are demanding answers from the CEOs directly.



JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are being pressed to hand over extensive information on clients trading Russian debt, as US Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Katie Porter expand efforts to pry into whether Wall Street is profiting on the invasion of Ukraine.

The Democrats sent JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon and Goldman CEO David Solomon letters Tuesday demanding lists of clients betting on Russian government and corporate debt since the war broke out in February, as well as the types and sizes of wagers and any gains. The lawmakers also want information on the banks themselves, including tallies of any trades they’ve handled and revenue generated.

Today People get easily offended about everything

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.
