In combination with this photo from the transport minister, it seems likely to me that the initial derailment happened to the right, then hit the facing points and then got shunted to the left into the oncoming trains. Seems from some photos it was not likely the leading carriage that derailed first

i mean isnt this supposed to be a federated protocol lol

so uhh, does this site federate yet?

BREAKING: UK state censor Ofcom says that new Instagram-like social network Bluesky is in danger of "failing vibe check" in an explosive report leaked earlier today

It's a shame that this opportunity was wasted, but I guess inevitable that a team recruiting from modern silicon valley would have the optics and aesthetics down perfectly and the internals on fire

Writing specifications which achieve a high level of interoperability with minimal footguns is a skill with a very high ceiling, and it seems clear from the outside that either no such person was sought to be on the bsky team or they were not listened to

this platform has stepped on the most number of rakes i've ever seen in the shortest amount of time

BREAKING: UK's Metropolitan Police Service announces that scores have been arrested in the capital for planned anti-monarchy protests, a spokesman said the protesters "smelled strongly of Bradford".

And yes, this experiment has alread been played out in the wild. Mastodon federates blocks to the targets' server, and there are a whole bunch of servers out there where if you block one of their users, a whole bunch of people turn up to harass you.

damn i got owned

i've been thoroughly convinced that this site will never generate a vibe less rancid than twitter

you know a site sucks when the posting reminds you of pre-activitypub fedi drama
