Is the 300-character limit for bsky posts some kind of architectural limit? Is there a technical reason for this? Or is it a vestige of a previous technical limit like the railroad gauge and the horse's ass?

We all know Niemoller's famous lines "First they came for... but I didn't speak out..." etc. So: what counts as "speaking out"? I feel like I've been screaming myself hoarse into a vacuum these past few months, with as much effectiveness as a fart in a hurricane. History will not take note.

This will forever be the "butter emails" for Harris. Disinformation will destroy any chance of a shared state. I truly hope Stein and Trump supporters get it, now that the horses are gone.
Here's what you traded away because someone told you she was incompetent. Happy now?

Just horrendous. Between them, Trump and Netanyahu seem determined to wipe the Palestinians off the face of the Earth. It was terrible under Biden. It'll be even worse now. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...
Rightwing settlers in Israel welcome ‘dream team’ of Trump and his hardline appointments
Palestinian groups shocked by US president-elect’s favouring of outspoken supporters of far-right activists in the region

So I'm more of a Facebook person, maybe used Xitter once or twice back in the day. I tend to like long-form posts, how does one do that on this thing? Break it up into a multi-part thread? And then people reply in the middle? I just can't wrap my brain around this and I'm running out of characte

Can someone tell me why Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris both conceded so quickly? Why could Trump give us two months non-stop of "Stop The Steal" in 2020 culminating in Jan 6, yet now it's like "Yeah, whatever, we lost fair and square" and fading into the woodwork?

So what do we do when our resistance to the regime runs headlong into our ability to provide for ourselves and our families? What if the only jobs available are with the likes of Fox or Elon's companies? What if your employer shoves a "loyalty oath" in front of you for your signature?
