Oh brilliant: Meta is now trying to pretend it's taking on its responsability in this fight.

A little late and more show than anything else. Especially when you consider where it stands in this development phase: Not in the first row.

Quick Cache and Archive Search

Due to recent events, I removed Google and a couple of other defunct search engines/archives from Quick Cache and archive search. But remember that there are still dozens of possible ways to find old copies of a web page.

Wondering why some people have unique handles that don't end in "bsky.social"? 👀

You can set your website as your handle! Purchase and manage a domain through Bluesky here: account.bsky.app

We especially encourage official organizations to self-verify their account with their website.

Hey everyone, we had an outage for the past couple hours that put the network into a read-only mode. We're seeing a lot of new signups and some servers hit their limits.

We believe we've resolved the issue. Thanks everyone for hanging with us!

I really admire #google Japan's advertisment. Because #spyfamily and #osint both have some relations (gathering intelligence) to it. It makes me have a feeling of familiar 😉
