Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Just found out there is a type of scam called a "pig butchery" scam so adding that to my list of incredibly stupid names for financial crimes. "Cuckoo smurfing" still wins, though.
