Does the follow Friday happen here? That was really useful on twitter for finding active and interesting people. It feels like the algorithm here doesn't force you in front of new people in quite the same way as twitter did.

Karen Attiah, a black woman, got fired for
A: accurately quoting what Charlie Kirk said about Black women
B: Accurately observing that most white Americans seem permissive of white violence.
It's bullshit, but almost expected in this white supremacist country.

And this, I think this quote by the complexity scientist Ilya Prigogine is presently pertinent โWhen a system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence have the capacity to shift the entire system.โ

"Don't Engage, Just Block" is having a real effect and you can tell it's frustrating the bots, chuds and trolls. They're in my comments trying everything they can to get people there to react -- and no one's biting. And then I swing by and chuck 'em into the cornfield and that's that.

And, inevitably, this post is providing a handy block list of misogynists and haters dribbling about free speech. There is no duty to engage with toxic inadequacy. Just a shared responsibility to reject it.

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.
I like this version of social media, and the world.
Thanks, folks.

It's my opinion that Victoria Derbyshire should replace Laura Kuenssberg on every single BBC show she is on, and she should do it right now.
I'm sure you agree.
