Off the mark at all times.
Probably the wrong post to write this, but I'm happy to see you guys managed to get a Bluesky account!

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that they're the most recognizably cute animals in the insect world?

Like how they plaster koalas on the covers of reports of australian forest fires instead of the thousands of others, because people have a protective response towards cute "innocent" animals.

I'll just follow for now. Thank you for taking the time to explain!

I'm still just a student in chemistry, but I'd love to join the feed.

I confess I'm still new to Bluesky and don't quite understand the terminology or the way the feeds function. This is just to be included in a group right? Or are you asking me if I'm an account to be mass followed for science?

When prompted about the holocaust, historian Louis Fisher asked him: “You mean that the Jews should have committed collective suicide?” Gandhi responded: “Yes, that would have been heroism.”

Its safe to say that Gandhi didn't really understand jewish nationalism, seeing it with the wrong analogue

Gandhi's position on the jewish people during the holocaust was for them to die as martyrs, for a greater cause than themselves.

Gandhi saw the colonial brits as a bigger enemy than nazi germany, and thus supported their destruction. 2/

I think there is an interesting link there too.

Israel and Pakistan were technically created at the same time, for the same general reason of seperating two feuding ethnic groups within a small area, by the same british actor.

We should however, not take Gandhi's opinion on this issue 1/

I see we're doing the whole screenshotting and reposting from Twitter thing right now.

One day its going to join the fate of the rest of the platforms, and we're going to get a youtube video on a reddit post of a bluesky screenshot uploaded to twitter and then the video being segmented into tiktok

Hm, does this still have Twitter's old problems then, where you can still build the same kind of echo chamber as before, by following accounts and thus creating a feed that caters to your interests, to a fault?

I hope its possible to remove Twitter's stench from this project.

I think algorithmic feeds are the best starting point. Go to "My Feeds" menu, and "Discover Feeds" there. You can select ones you're interested in (and even pin them for quick access). And from the feeds you might find interesting people to follow.
