This is what happens when you run a blue bird `` Bye Bye Bird '' that sheds tears every time there is a tweet saying `` Rest in peace with Twitter ''



Since

Elon Musk became CEO of Twitter, there are reports that Twitter is considering making it payable, layoffs targeting half of the employees, and charging for 'verified badges'. It is suggested to do so, and major changes are underway. In response to such a transformation of Twitter, more and more people are moving to other SNS , saying that ``Twitter will be messed up'', and Twitter user David Pride lamented that his friends were leaving Twitter one after another. However, I created a mechanism that Twitter's blue bird sheds tears every time the hashtag '#RIPTwitter (Rest in peace with Twitter)' is tweeted.




After Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter on October 27, 2022, Twitter users began using the microblogging service Mastodon and voice More and more people are switching to Discord , a communication tool that allows you to make calls. In particular, the impact on Mastodon was noticeable, and it was reported that the number of Mastodon users increased by 230,000 in a week.

In response to such a trend, Mr. Pride said, ``All my friends have left Twitter and I am very sad,'' and created an item that expresses that sadness. A blue bird resembling a Twitter icon named 'Bye-Bye Bird' by Mr. Pride quietly sheds tears from his eyes when someone tweets with the hashtag '#RIPTwitter'. 'RIP' is an abbreviation of the Latin word 'requiescat in pace,' and is used for tombstones and other objects to mean 'rest in peace.'

Mr. Pride first cut out the base board in the shape of a bird.



Then, prepare and install tubes, syringes,

Raspberry Pi , etc. for passing water.



A syringe is used to drip water slowly.



A system that receives Twitter's API and converts the signal into a command to ``shed tears'' and a mechanism to carry water are installed on the back of Bye Bye Bird.



The hose that carries tears is fixed from the throat side and reaches the eyes.



After the installation of the system surface is completed, the surface is spray painted sky blue. This will give it a somewhat familiar look.



Bye Bye Bird is completed.



When someone decides to leave Twitter using the hashtag #RIPTwitter and tweeting 'Rest in peace Twitter', Bye Bye Bird sheds tears of grief over the loss of another companion.



When a tweet containing the hashtag ``#RIPTwitter'' is detected, tears are sent each time, so when Mr. Pride searches for the hashtag at the end of the movie, a large number of tweets are detected at once and Bye Bye Bird is like a waterfall. I was crying tears of sadness.



In response to the question ``Where did the tears come from?'' of the user who was impressed by the bye-bye bird, Mr. Pride replied, ``I have been saving for a long time.''
