One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

The Biden administration continues to be the sole government besides Netanyahu's currently actively preventing a ceasefire in Gaza. Ppl can be in denial all they want, this is a fact.
The US is ruled by moral monsters and Trump isn't even in office yet.

PLEASE, if you are submitting on any legislation, do it personally through the parliament website.
Submitting via a third party (eg Greenpeace) is fantastic if you’d do nothing at all otherwise but if you can, take that extra step.
Or do both.

Submissions have opened on the Treaty Principles Bill. You'll almost certainly see a lot of individuals and groups with big followings telling you to submit using a template that they provide. I am pleading with you to not do this. It's the least effective way to participate.

If you have hīkoi signs, don't throw them away. Take them to the National Library of NZ (Molesworth St). The library is collecting. This is a part of NZ'S history.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

The H5N1 sequence found in the hospitalized teenager shows two important mutations that improve the virus's ability to bind to human α2,6 sialic acid receptors.
This adaptation is crucial for the virus's potential to spread between humans.
