I’ll see if I can throw out some of those unclaimed email invitation spots to free up some more room later.

Btw…there are a lot of hidden gems in app’s settings such as mute words (hide videos that have these words in the description), hide counts for likes, comments, etc., mute lists (subscribe to lists to mute multiple users at once) and more. Worth checking out!

If they're going to take responsibility for dismantling the U.S. government as we know it, they ought to be named and known.
The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.
Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Making @bsky.app billionaire proof means making real commitments to community - that's why, today, we're open sourcing our core engine for algorithmic matching. This is a work in progress, but we wanted to get it out as quickly as possible - and if you're a dev, and want to work with it, DM us!
