Reposting my popular post from elsewhere. It's still relevant 6 years later. I made a handy flowchart called "Should I say resources?" Please use as needed.

The Post Office Inquiry has finished its hearings; closing statements take place in December.

I know I have posted something like this before, but it still boggles my mind what has happened to Google Maps

Just for the record, the NY Post is never a credible source when a story is about a Black woman allegedly not working hard. And Spotify exec Simmons, who directly profits from and supports Rogan, is not a credible source about podcast grifters.

Thread. People do not understand how the bad actors who want to use a platform for organizing and doing horrible things know your ToS and content policy better than you do. They will rules lawyer edge cases for DAYS.
I'd love our devs and mod folk out there for bluesky to understand this. Right now we're seeing some super weird/no big deal folks floating test posts. Often not in violation of anything, just... Weird? If pressed, they get defensive fast.
It is because they're digging in, and signaling their folks.
