Articles that say an organisation is ‘under fire’ or ‘facing a backlash’ need to substantiate the claim. It’s usually 1 journalist calling 1 person for a negative quote. Also so-called ‘grassroots’ organisations that are private companies deserve some scrutiny.

7/Possibly Bluesky can address this by discussing their funding in detail, the expectations of the funders, and whether the TPOT/PostRat community is still a principal driver of the vision for the "company." But this all points to another rug pull in progress, and a lot of credulous people hurt.

Here's one week of ocean tides animated across Australasia (🔵= high tide, 🔴 = low tide). 🌊 Pretty incredible how complex (and hypnotic!) they are!
