As a German who lives not so far from Berlin, I can tell you that things are really bad there and the initiative is more a reaction to the situation than part of a movement. Since the last state election, Berlin has pretty much the most car-friendly government in the republic, even by German standards - every possible cent that could even be considered for a cycle path is being stopped there. The situation is nothing short of catastrophic.

Nonetheless, the success of the initiative is of course to be sincerely wished.

It has been an invite-only instance, but it should be open for months now since the invitation system was broken.

Anyway: Big thumbs up for loma.ml - it's excellently maintained and the support is more accessible than your ISP.

bird.makeup. Yes, it works with any Twitter-account, but needs a long while to get updated. It it's not working by searching for @twitteruser@bird.makeup you can also manually add the account on https://bird.makeup/.

Birdside Live was a service that mirrors posts from Twitter to the Fediverse. birdsite.monster is down so you're not able to follow anyone anymore. You can use @twitterhandle@bird.makeup instead.
