I can't work out if the Amazon Customer Service is a Bot or not. Who needs Connections when you could find gems around sentiment like this.

Hey new people and people I know from Twitter, welcome! What brings you here?

In case you're interested, here's a Starter Pack of journalists who work on climate, energy, and the environment.

Bluesky is also more useful if you follow some Feeds. I have some suggestions. 🧵
