I know Musk is not a serious person, and I know the admin he serves is not serious also.

Here are the current 246 signatories of this letter. We are all active Bluesky users, many of us from Gaza but most of us are not. We all however think this app is a better place when the voices of Palestinians in Gaza are heard.
