Why is Sarah Kendzoir, an author and journalist who covers authoritarian regimes, suspended on bluesky?

Even X and substack haven’t suspended her.

So much for “Bring your own algorithm”. This is a fail for Bluesky.

We are quickly sliding past the era when you could find info on YouTube on how to fix almost anything.

YouTube search results are now full of AI slop repair videos that help no one.

An opportunity for ifixit or instructables to own this space perhaps.

So, a Baricycle?
