It's *REALLY IMPORTANT* that you show this to your comms teams, marketing teams and leadership teams, because many of them are still using Twitter.
The only way to stop it progressing further (and with that stupid pet Nazi robot) is to ditch it. Starve it of oxygen.
People / orgs need to leave it.

I wrote a post going behind the scenes on selecting our city, venue and dates for @pyconau.bsky.social 2026.
It's the first in what I hope will be a series of more informal, long form essays sharing how we think about certain problems, tasks and challenges.
