The decision of @bsky.app to restrict UK users from using DMs unless age verified is an utterly ridiculous decision with absolutely no reasoning behind it - I know this as I wrote & asked & beyond 'we just decided' they got nothing as nothing in the leg requires it #bluesky #ageverification #age

Tbf after its first best use the bands prob wouldn't have reason to exist!
I believe that the second best use of time travel technology would be to go see all your favorite bands before they broke up or when they were at their peak.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
