@dansup.bsky.social , who is the founder of pixelfed, sent this letter to Mark Zuckerberg/Meta regarding their blocking of links to Pixelfed.
Dear Mark, I hope this finds you well. I noticed something interesting today - it seems Instagram is blocking links to my little open-source project. You know, the one that lets people share photos without harvesting their personal data or forcing algorithmic feeds on them. I have to admit, I'm flattered. Who would've thought a small team of volunteers could build something that would catch your attention? We're just trying to give people a choice in how they share their memories online. No VCs, no surveillance capitalism, just code and community. Remember when Facebook started? It was about connecting people, not maximizing engagement metrics. Our project might be tiny compared to Instagram, but we're staying true to that original spirit of social media - giving people control over their online presence without turning them into products. You could've ignored us. Instead, by blocking our links, you've given us the best endorsement we could ask for. You've confirmed what we've been saying all along - that big tech is more interested in protecting their walled gardens than fostering genuine innovation. Every time you block a link to our platform, you remind people why we built it in the first place. Your action tells them there are alternatives worth exploring, ones that respect their privacy and agency. So thank you, Mark. You've turned our little project into a symbol of resistance against digital monopolies.

@rickh59.bsky.social hey Rick! I’m a bit incognito here but you know me as the OG founder of LPRVQ. Starter packs here can help you find your tribe. I’m happy to have a way to keep in touch with you since I have mainly abandoned FB and am revealing my identity to only a few whom I trust. Welcome! ❤️

Just tried this...does not bode well for 2025.
Post says to grab book closest and turn to page 206. First line describes your love life. I tried it and page 206 is blank.

Struggling journalists: I have a crisp $100 bill for every one of you who, whenever Trump announces a policy or appointment, asks him if Elon okayed it.

The fire was lit under my butt to make my first post tonight. MSNBC reported that James Clyburn (the guy responsible for handing Biden the nomination in 2020) is now urging Biden to PARDON the 🍊🤡!! Does nobody realize that Nixon being pardoned paved the way for this mess??!
Tell Biden, "NO WAY!!"
