These features feel like a logical next step to what @lexicon.garden does, and it is worth mentioning that they are heavily inspired by what @bad-example.com has been doing for a while now with ufos.microcosm.blue. They deserved credit for their hard work and effort in exploring this product space.

Here's an early preview of what's in store for @lexicon.garden
The home page now lists a summary of active lexicons across the entire network. This is a high-level view of ATProtocol network activity that you can drill-down into.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Minnesota still needs your attention
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
