SYRIZA loses two more MPs, and with that its "main opposition" designation in parliament.

PASOK now becomes the official opposition party in Greece.

Twitter was like being at a great house party until the bully of the school turns up with his buddies to beat everyone up (& help get Trump elected). Bluesky is the house across the street where everybody moves to bc they just want to hang out, have a good time & listen and talk to people.

Hey @bsky.app it occurred to me that some people in the dead bird app think you still need an invitation to join.

So why not give us the ability to invite people here, with a link that we can send via DM, specially personalized to each one invited?💌

Also an official follower bridge would be nice.👍
