Sorry for misleading you, I own no hats. Actually, I do have a woolly one.

Just spent a bit of time over on ‘the other place’.
This is my snap observation:
Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING!) seems to be a conspiracy to harm us and our way of living… apart from foreign intervention in our Democracy. That appears to be fine 🤷♂️
Have I got that right?

It is pointless to debate those who seek NOT to debate.
They wish only amplification.
Deny them this.
We owe them nothing, least of all our time.

Absolutely agree.
These people are not up for reasoned debate, they’re here to shout divisive nonsense for clicks and slink immediately into the background rubbing their hands with glee as their message gets continually amplified.

Are you responding to Darren Grimes?
Nigel Farage?
Richard Tice?
Don't.
You have been handed an opportunity.
Report, block, delete.
I used to be in favour of challenging this scum.
But not here.
Silence them.

I’ve struggled with the following frustration today, hampering my ability to seamlessly work on the go
Poor phone network
I’ve got full connectivity so an assumption that there’s not enough capacity
This has degraded over the last few years to the point at which it’s now a major inconvenience

I’m unable to register my youngest as an NHS patient in Cheltenham, having to take him to Gloucester.
To add insult to injury the practice in Cheltenham where his three siblings are registered will gladly take him as a private patient though 🙄

The shameful ‘dental desert’ in Bath means that patients are often left with no option but to visit A&E - putting pressure on the NHS’ already scarce resources.
Residents can rest assured that I will not stop fighting for better care.

We’re growing by 10k users every 10-15 minutes right now.

Bluesky has grown by over 3M people in the last week — welcome!
With every wave of growth naturally comes an increase in moderation reports. Here’s a status report on how the Trust & Safety team is handling it:

Yup, quite true
Some people cannot comprehend that the exodus from X is not 'liberal flight' but a lot of people deciding that the content on the platform - hate/extremism, disinformation, violent/nsfw content, low quality ads, lax responses to user reports, suppression of content - just can't be ignored any more.

What’s left on X is increasingly feeling like the dregs of a night out at a nightclub.
It’s not fun anymore, it’s thinned out, good people have left, and there are abusive bores harassing you to declare whether you just said you were leaving because you think you’re too good for that place.
