Oh, and if we’re mutuals from elsewhere, you might find others you know via this Starter Pack: go.bsky.app/6RLqFKd (the thread explains what an SP is, if you haven’t come across the term yet).
Useful things for recent Xwitter refugees to know.

I saw you at the protest; your slogans were endearing;
When can we meet again? Perhaps at our bail hearing?

If you’re a billionaire why are you paying professionals money to make people believe you are good at a videogame? How the fuck did that seem like a good idea? Take a hundred mil and buy the rights to Thief and Deus Ex and make sequels, you can do that, have a fucking dream dumdum create something

"FB comments are…a homogenized shit hole full of bots, rage, and bile that undermines connection and any effort at real conversation. These sorts of badly run systems are also more easily gamed by bad actors (like…authoritarians using culture war agitprop to confuse the electorate and take power)."
