I know I’m being cheap but I’m also sad that the Guardian newspaper is now subscription only. A lot of people really NEED to read it but now hardly ever will

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.
It’s not rocket science.

Has anyone else noticed a sudden jump in the number of bot accounts with bizarre profiles trying to connect in the last day? I wonder who would try to be overwhelming the system and why…?

As much as I disagree with Musk, I do believe he’s right about this comment - the future of defence is unmanned, AI controlled (scarily) and primarily lots of cheap expendable drones.

I suspect it’s just a matter of time before Musk sends his bot army over here to BS to cause disruption (shortly after his attempt to undermine British democracy). How to counter this when it occurs?

No doubt this has come up before but you know in the old/bad place, we would ‘tweet’. What do we do here? ‘Float ideas’ or ‘launch’ or ‘condense’ them? If we are browsing, can we say ‘our head is in the clouds’? If something trends, can we say it has high pressure, gusty?

Many folks know of Bluesky’s recent funding round from Blockchain Capital LLC. But this adds an interesting new dimension. Will be seeking answers on what interest Mr. Dorofeev has in this investment, given that he works for Russia’s state sanctioned social network, VK.
