I pretty much checked out from birdsite after #Tweetbot and other 3rd party apps got canned due to API restrictions. It just wasn't the same.
#Tweetdeck was the only thing left that made birdsite usable—the OLD version—and I pretty much just used it to keep track of deals by that point. WAY too many ads and too much algorithm in their app/site, ugh.
Now it's gone, too... and so am I, at least from there. Hopefully I will enjoy it here on Mastodon now that I'm ready to fully give it a chance.
